My Dear Howells:
I have scribbled this to-day—maybe it may do for the Club, I dunno.
When you can, I want you to give me the exact date of your hegira or exodus into Hartford, (if that is the right phrase,) because I want to fetch up the Rightful Earl & have that interview. He has invented a swimming apparatus, & wants me to lend him $200 to shove it withⒶemendation, but I don’t calculate to do that.
Ys Ever
Mark.
