I am a long
time answering your
letter, my dear Miss
Harriet, but then you
must remember that
it is an equally long
time since I received
it — so that makes us
even, & nobody to blame
on either side.

I would send you
Mr. Warner's autograph
but I haven't one, & he
is in Europe or else at sea
on his way home.
