To Charles A. Dana
11 July 1883 • Elmira, N.Y. (MS: NNPM, UCCL 13323)
Elmira, N.Y., July 11/83.
Dear Mr. Dana—

I am whacking at an unfinished book, & may not go to New York till the end of summer; but when I do go I will be sure to call unless we should happen to make too close a connection with the Hartford train, an accident not very likelyⒶemendation to happen.

Yours sincerely
S. L. Clemens
