20 and 22 September 1877Hartford, Conn. (New York Times, 14 October 1877, UCCL 13105)
(SUPERSEDED)

Dear Siremendation: The clock refuses to strike, but I am not particular about that. She runs faster than necessary, but I can regulate that. She doesn’t change the day of the week and the month until noon; but if she will stick to that, so that I can depend on her, she will not perplex me by giving her yesterdays an extra 12 hours. I always did think the yesterdays were too short any way. I inclose check.

Sept. 22.—Clock is all right now.
