To William Dean Howells
27 November 1879 • Hartford, Conn. (MS, postal card, in pencil: MH-H, UCCL 01727)

Warner & I go up Tuesday, 2d, reaching Boston about 6 P. M. He goes to friends in the Highlands. He thinks I leave for Belmont by from the Fitchburg-Old Colony-Boston-&-Albany Station; but I do not think he knows anything about it—he talks like a man who is simply trying to let on to know everything. But if you say that is the station to leave from, I will believe you, for you have no motive to deceive. Speak up.
