livaⒶemendation has gone shopping to new york with clara spaulding for a few days. every body here is well but myself, and in my case some doctors think it is malaria, and some think it is laziness. i am taking medicine for both.

i sent charlie to fredonia with a very savage article exposing that watch company, and told him to read it to them and if they did not make me holdⒶemendation to the last penny, to publish it in a advertisement and spread it over fredonia in the form of hand bills. they squared my account very promptly, and i think that charlie got the rest of you out of that scrape very cleverly. i think it a great pity that you did not take charge of orion and pamela. they evidently needed intelligel ntⒶemendation help.

theⒶemendation giving up of an unlimited ticket for a limited one, was about the chuckle headedest thing i ever heard of a grown person’s doing. it almost equaled some of my own performances. it is a thing which i could have done myself seven years ago, i could do it now with howells to help me.

charlie has gone to chicago on some business matters of mine. all that are here send love to your house-hold, and the rest would duplicate it if they were here.
