To William Dean Howells
10? June 1880 • Hartford, Conn. (MS: MH-H, UCCL 10857)

I think that when this batch is culled & reduced 50 per cent, the rest it will be worth printing, Howells—& that is a pretty fair result for a lunatic like the author of it, poor fellow. Lord what a hard time of it he has had.

Yrs
Mark.

Read it at your leisure—no hurry then mail it to me at Elmira, N. Y., (whither we journey for the summer, next week., June 15.)
