To George S. Mallory and Marshall H. Mallory
19 September 1883 • Hartford, Conn. (MS, draft: CU-MARK, UCCL 02838)
Hartford, Sept. 19/83.
Dear Sirs:

You have a contract with Mr. Will Gillette; & I am aware that you are trying (as usual with you) to sneak out of the performance of its conditions. I am personally interested in the matter; therefore I suggest to you couple of piety-mouthing, hypocritical thieves & liars that you change your customary policy this time.

Truly Yours
S. L. Clemens
