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.
