Elmira, May 25, 1875.
Dear Red,
T. K. Beecher is splendid in the pulpit—splendid is the word but I have never seen him on the platform at all—never have heard him lecture.
Our people all like his lecturing, but you ask for my opinion, &Ⓐemendation individually, &Ⓐemendation so I have to confess ignorance.
Yours truly
Sam’l L. Clemens.
