To Mary E. (Mollie) Clemens
24 or 25 July 1872New Saybrook, Conn. (MS: CU-MARK, UCCL 00774)
Dear Mollie—

Please send all my individual washing to the steam laundry (or rather, notify them to come & get it,) till you find a washerwoman emendation who is more talented than this one. This one don’t even turn down a vest collar—or wash it, either, I may add.

The dirty clothes were expressed to you Monday. Will so telegraph you after breakfast——

Much obliged for the photos, cards & things.

Afly
Sam.
