To Thomas Bailey Aldrich
3 March 1874 • Hartford, Conn. (MS facsimile: inventory.universityarchives.com,

slc                         farmington avenue, hartford.
Mch. 3.
My Dear Mr Aldrich:

Howells is to dine with Warner & me in Hartford that day & date, & so I naturally infer that a body can lunch with you & Mr. Sothern at 1 & still catch the 3 PM train for this town—therefore, if my inference is correct, I shall be more than glad, I shall be proud to tackle your sustenance on that occasion.

Ys faithfully
Saml. L. Clemens.
