M. T.

DEAR MR. CLEMENS,--How long shall you talk? I ask in order that we may

be able to say when carriages may be called.

Very Truly yours,

HUGH GORDON MILLER,

Secretary.

DEAR MR. MILLER,--I cannot say for sure. It is my custom to keep on

talking till I get the audience cowed. Sometimes it takes an hour and

fifteen minutes, sometimes I can do it in an hour.

Sincerely yours,

S. L. CLEMENS.

Mem. My charge is 2 boxes free. Not the choicest--sell the choicest, and

give me any 6-seat boxes you please.
