Yr Obliged Bro.  
SAM.  
Love to Mollie. We are all getting along tolerably well.  
Mr. Langdon died early in August, and Mrs. Clemens returned to  
Buffalo, exhausted in mind and body. If she hoped for rest now, in  
the quiet of her own home, she was disappointed, as the two brief  
letters that follow clearly show.

****  
To Mrs. Moffett, in Fredonia, N. Y.:  
BUFFALO, Aug. 31, 70.  
MY DEAR SISTER,--I know I ought to be thrashed for not writing you, but  
I have kept putting it off. We get heaps of letters every day; it is a  
comfort to have somebody like you that will let us shirk and be patient  
over it. We got the book and I did think I wrote a line thanking you for  
it-but I suppose I neglected it.
