To William Dean Howells
22 April 1880 • Hartford, Conn. (MS: MH-H, UCCL 01790)
Thursday.
My Dear Howells:

I have scribbled this to-day—maybe it may do for the Club, I dunno.

When you can, I want you to give me the exact date of your hegira or exodus into Hartford, (if that is the right phrase,) because I want to fetch up the Rightful Earl & have that interview. He has invented a swimming apparatus, & wants me to lend him $200 to shove it withⒶemendation, but I don’t calculate to do that.

Ys Ever
Mark.
