22 November 1879 • Hartford, Conn. (MS facsimile and MS: CU-MARK and CLjC, UCCL 01723)
You did it up admirably—I knew you would. I have written Dawson & asked him to name a date a couple of weeks hence for me to accept or decline on—for I can’t tell till then.
If you are stopping at the Windsor, old man, it won’t be quite right for us to pile in on you as guests, but we’ll stop at the same house, anyway, if we come.
A boy! Well, perseverance will tell! Madame & I congratulate you both, heartily—also the boy.
I’m glad you are building a carriage, too, for I hate those dam horse-cars there.
I’m just about to start in on another ten thousand dollar venture—a patent. Want to come in?—in case it continues to look good? Slote is to run it.
