To Charles L. Webster
13 October 1883 • Hartford, Conn. (MS, in pencil: NPV, UCCL 10805)
Dear Charley—

Now by the time you can get theⒶemendation board shipped to me, I shall be ready to use it. I’ve got all the reigns skeletonized, & shall have them printed & send you a copy.

Livy’s little table which you & she bought has not arrived yet, & is a week overdue.

Yrs
S L C

Order 300 or 400 envelops printed, with “return to S L C” on them. The one which encloses this letter is nearly the last I’ve got.
