Wednesday.
My Dear Pond—
Oh, dang it, I’m head over heels in hard work on a book. You & Cable & Webster get up your prospectus, & send it to me, & if I see a place to add a paragraph, I’ll do that same.
Ys Truly
S. L. Clemens
P. S. Mind, we are not to read in Elmira nor in Hartford. Don’t forget that. No objections to other places.
