3 October 1882 • Hartford, Conn. (MS: CU-MARK, UCCL 12460)
I didn’t forget you—no, I was trying to save you trouble by shoving the matter onto the publishrer. An editor is too much burdened with work, but I don’t consider that a publisher has any fatigues that anybody is bound to respect. Always bully a publisher; always crowd a publisher; always work a publisher every way you know how. That is my idea about it. And don’t depend on chance publishers here & there. Take one along with you. It is economy in the end.
I am ever so much obliged for the letters & editorial; & I wish to be cordially remembered to our several friends who were so kind to the bald-headed but chaste & godly Osgood & me.
Cable is coming to see me in a week or ten days.
