7 February 1884 • Hartford, Conn. (Typed transcription by or for Albert Bigelow Paine: CU-MARK, UCCL 02910)
By the middle of next lecture season Mr. Cable’s name will be a household word in this country. He has in his hands a couple of literary bonanzas which I think ought to be published in no way but by subscription. It is possible that the doctor might allow him to talk business, now, but it is not probable. Still, he will have no occasion to talk it, either now or in the future, since he has put the thing in my hands. In my opinion there is no immediate necessity for a talk, however, for the reason that neither of these works is as yet completely ready for the press.
