To Milicent Shinn
8 February 1884 • Hartford, Conn. (MS: CU-MARK, UCCL 02908)

P. S. Private. Ah, if I could only be there! I would delight in revealing the dark history of Bret Harte’s treatment of me when I contributed & he was editor. But I couldn’t do it in a letter, you know. It would be out of place; & besides, it would look as if I held the present Overland guilty for the responsible for the crimes of the one which is departed & gone. This is not the case. So, let us keep mum——but, if I were only there! I think we should have some fun!

Truly Yours
S L Clemens
