26 November 1879 • Hartford, Conn. (MS: Craven, UCCL 01747)
A hundred chances to one I shan’t be able to attend that banquet. My book is not as near done as I thought it was, by considerable many chapters. Wrote Dawson that if he didn’t hear from me by Dec. 20, cross my name out of the list.
Dan Slote (121 William st.,) will tell you about the thing—am afraid the patent is not sound & strong—otherwise I would jump into it with the fullest confidence.
All right—we’ll have a talk about the summer visit—don’t guess we’ll get to New York again very soon.
