To William A. Wood

Wm. A. Wood, Esq

Dear Sir: I have written my publisher, & I judge you will receive the book soon. There may possibly be a slight delay, for he was “out” of the old books lately, & no chance to print new editions because his presses were occupied with the new book. It is pleasant to have them so occupied, but a body can’t expect to have it continue forever, more’s the pity.

Ys Truly
S. L. Clemens
