Dear Charley—
If you have a copy of the Sle Sellers play, I wish you would send it to me.
If you haven’t, ask Howells if he has.
And if he hasn’t, I hope you will run up to Hartford at your very earliest cha “idle moment” & look in the safe & in the billiard room. There must be a copy somewhere.
I’m going to elaborate it into a novel.
Gerhardt is completing a most excellent bust of me.
Ys Truly
S L Clemens
