This letter from Mark Twain to Mr. Horace J. Borrow of Hartford has
recently been called to my attention by a niece of Mr. Borrow's who
now lives in Glastonbury. I have no reason to believe that the lady is
a charlatan, in fact, I have often heard Mark Twain speak of Mr.
Borrow in the highest terms.
[Footnote 1: The complete works of Mark Twain, with complete forewords
by Mr. Paine are, oddly enough, published by Harper and Bros. who,
oddly enough, also publish this magazine. We celebrate this
coincidence by offering the complete set to our readers on easy and
friendly terms.]
_Mr. Horace J. Borrow_
_Hartford, Connecticut_
Dear Mr. Borrow: Enclosed find check for ten dollars ($10) in payment
of my annual dues for the year 1891-2.
Yours truly,
(Signed) S.L. CLEMENS.
