To Benjamin H. Ticknor
11 August 1881 • Elmira, N.Y. (MS: CtY-BR, UCCL 02000)
Elmira, Aug. 11/81.
Dear Ticknor—

I reckon I ain’t the best man to give you points for the circular. If the matter is not urgent, suppose you leave it alone ten days & then get the points from Osgood & Anthony, & a suggestion or two from Hwowells? I should prefer that.

Enclosed I send ck for $850.26.

Truly Yours
S. L. Clemens

P. S. If there’s any charge discount for collection, return me the ck & I will give you a draft on N. Y.
