My Dear Sir:

I sent you No. 1 of
a series of 4 articles which
I have been writing for
the Atlantic Monthly, &
with this I enclose No. 2.
I saw Mr. Chatto in New
York lately, & told him
he could have these ad-
vance sheets for one
of his magazines in case
you did not wish to use
them. I have just writ-
ten Mr. Chatto that I have
not heard from you &

therefore cannot inform
him whether you want
the advance sheets or
not. I have suggested
that he inquire of you.

Truly Yours
Sam.l L. Clemens

It is possible, Mr. Bentley,
that my letter miscarried,
since you many have moved
from New Burlington
street. I will simply di-
rect this to The Editor of
Temple Bar, to make sure.
