Hartford, Jan. 17/84.
My Dear Osgood—
I have thought, & thought; & as a result, I wish to accept the kind offer which you made yesterday, if you are willing to let me. D I hope you can & will stop on your way up. I am not well content with myself over yesterday’s talk, yet I do assure that I never meant to be unjust toward you in a single word or thought.
Truly Yours
S. L. Clemens
