CLEMENS, A.L.S. (secretarial) on his engraved, monogrammed correspondence card, 2 full pages, 32mo, Hartford, February 6, 1878, to his English publisher, Mr. Chatto, “A member of our scrap-book firm (Mr. Wilde) is about to establish himself permanently in London . . . to attend personally to the proper scrap booking of the eastern hemisphere. We propose to drive out all inferior scrap books from that hemisphere just as we are doing with this one . . . our firm wants to get a telling advertisement into my new volume of sketches which you are just bringing out . . .”
