Thank you for your good wishes for the "Collected Works"--an
advertisement of which--with many blushes!--I enclose.
Sincerely yours,
AMBROSE BIERCE.
P.S.--The "ad" is not sent in the hope that you will be so foolish as
to subscribe--merely to "show" you. The "edition de luxe" business is
not at all to my taste--I should prefer a popular edition at a
possible price.
