3 April 1882 • Hartford, Conn. (MS, typewritten, with holograph changes: ViU, UCCL 02196)
my dear mr. wood:—

i inclose the original of 1603emendation as you suggest. i am afraid there are errors in it , emendation also; errors of heedlessness in antiquated spelling—e’s stuck on often at the end of words where they are not strictly necessary. ; etc. emendation


iemendation would go through the manuscript but i am too emendation much driven just now, and it is not important anyway. i wish you would do me the kindness to make any and all corrections that suggest themselves to you.

sincerely yours,
s. l. clemens.
