Hartford, Conn. March 3d, 1882.
Dear Sir,
I wish you had spoken a little sooner, because I am thinking of joining a church now, &Ⓐemendation I cannot seem to curse good any more. Sometimes I feel ashamed of my efforts, but if I do not join, or if after I do join, I manage to get my hand in again, I will give that Greek Adjective a cursing that will satisfy your heart.
Truly yours,
S. L. Clemens.
