23 April 1877 • New York, N.Y. (MS, correspondence card, in pencil: CU-MARK, UCCL 01414)
(SUPERSEDED)
Early Bedtime.
I am tired out—pretty completely fagged. So I’ll only write a line. Since I reached here at 6 I have been talking with people all the time—Charley, Dan, Kingman, Fuller & others—& now at 9 oclock, am dreadfully sleepy. I am ashamed that a trifling little railway trip should have so much effect upon me. But I had a delightful afternoon. I left behind me those 2 men who have not been absent an instant from my thoughts (& my hate) for months—Raymond & Harte—so I read Dumuas & was serene & content. I move on in the morning. I love you darling—I love you all the time.
