To Olivia L. Clemens
7 August 1878 • Heidelberg, Germany (MS, in pencil: Bentley, UCCL 11926)

Livy darling, thank you ever so much for your note; it was sehr velcom, I assure you. We have had a long & most enjoyable day in a carriage up to Hirschhorn & back with Smith—& the moment we got back I have rushed to bed, but they are taking supper. Very tired, but I love you—good night,

Samℓ
