4 September 1883 • Elmira, N.Y. (MS: MnHi, UCCL 02833)
I haven’t the facts, but my elder brother has—Orion Clemens, Keokuk, Iowa. He is hard at work on a long, tough job for me, but I have written him to put it down & take up this matter of yours & attend to it. He had 22 years’ acquaintanceship with my father, but my own knowledge of him amounted to little more than an introduction.
P. S. I wish to subscribe for a copy of the book, to be sent to my home address, Hartford, Conn., with bill for the same.
R. I. Holcombe, Esq | Palmyra | Missouri return address: return to c. j. langdon, elmira, n. y., if not delivered within 10 days. postmarked: elmira n.y. sep 4 5pm
