In the picture of me in the study you glimpse (through the left-hand  
window) the little rock bluff that rises behind the pond, and the bases  
of the little trees on top of it. The small square window is over  
the fireplace; the chimney divides to make room for it. Without the  
stereoscope it looks like a framed picture. All the study windows have  
Venetian blinds; they long ago went out of fashion in America but they  
have not been replaced with anything half as good yet.  
The study is built on top of a tumbled rock-heap that has  
morning-glories climbing about it and a stone stairway leading down  
through and dividing it.  
There now--if you have not time to read all this, turn it over to "Jock"  
and drag in the judge to help.  
Mrs. Clemens must put in a late picture of Susie--a picture which she  
maintains is good, but which I think is slander on the child.  
We revisit the Rutland Street home many a time in fancy, for we hold  
every individual in it in happy and grateful memory.  
Goodbye,  
Your friend,  
SAML. L. CLEMENS.
