Explanatory Notes
1
The Clemenses reached Hartford on 2 or 3 October, after at least a day in New York at the St. Nicholas Hotel. (The New York Evening Express’s report that they were at the hotel—“Morning Arrivals,” 3 Oct 71, 3—was belated.) Clemens probably had this note hand delivered to Orion at the American Publishing Company offices.
