To Harriet E. Whitmore
18 November 1882 • Hartford, Conn. (MS, inscription in The Stolen White Elephant: CtHMTH, UCCL 09324)

Dear Mrs. Whitmore: If the dog had waited, he could have got this copy,

which is much superior to the other. An impatient dog, a dog that is always

in a hurry, is his own worst enemy. The waiting dog is the successful dog.

With kindest regards of
The Author.

Hartford, Nov. 18/82.
