29 September 1882 • New York, N.Y. (MS: LNT, UCCL 02281)
I’ve rushed in here, with 2 30 minutes to spare before rushing for the Hartford train—but I’ve missed you. Arrived yesterday evening with my whole tribe & 2 cats, from the summer vacation. Shall reach Hartford this evening. A week hence, we shall be all straightened up, there; & then we shall be glad & willing & anxious to see you on any date thereafter—you to name it & give us notice & we will go to your train & fetch you. Be sure you come.
I must rush, now, or I shan’t get my tribe ready for the ◊ Ⓐemendation train.
