Dec. 7.

Livy darling, I love you. I went thro’ a rehearsal Ⓐemendation of my “Roughing It” lecture to-day (Sunday) & it seems to be all right. I think I shall enjoy delivering it. This is fatiguing work, my love—but in a day or two I hope I shall get to writing you regularly again. Did you never get a telegram from me at Queenstown? I sent one.1explanatory note

Bliss must hurry up the book if I am to copyright Ⓐemendation it here.2explanatory note I love you.
