To Karl Gerhardt
February 1881 • Unknown place (MS facsimile, inscription in blank book: RR Auction, 16 January 2013, lot 703, UCCL 13510)

The undersigned bought this book under the impression that it was a humorous work—& “got left.” He asks Mr. Karl Gerhardt to take it off his hands; & feels that he can recommend it as a mighty stupefying creation.

S. L. Clemens
