Buffalo, Feb. 14.
Dear Sir:

I am only too proud of the chance to help, with this the only Valentine I venture to write this day—for although I am twain in my own person I am only half a person in my matrimonial firm, & sometimes my wife shows that she is so much better & nobler than I am, that I seriously question if I am really any more than about a quarter!

Yrs Truly
Samℓ. L. Clemens
