To Olivia L. Clemens
12 November 1884 • Lowell, Mass. (MS, in pencil: CU-MARK, UCCL 03024)

Livy darling, only a word, to say I have not heard from you since I left you stricken & lonely in the forever accurséd town of Springfield—the only town where we have suffered a defeat. I have not heard from you, & it has depressed me all day. It is now midnight, & has been a hard day. Good night my love.
