I filled four dozen cylinders in two sittings, then found I could
have said about as much with the pen and said it a deal better. Then I
resigned.
I believe it could teach one to dictate literature to a
phonographer--and some time I will experiment in that line.
The little book is charmingly written, and it interested me. But it
flies too high for me. Its concretest things are filmy abstractions to
me, and when I lay my grip on one of them and open my hand, I feel as
embarrassed as I use to feel when I thought I had caught a fly. I'm
going to try to mail it back to you to-day--I mean I am going to charge
my memory. Charging my memory is one of my chief industries....
With our loves and our kindest regards distributed among you according
to the proprieties.
Yrs ever
MARK.
P. S.--I'm sending that ancient "Mental Telegraphy" article to
Harper's--with a modest postscript. Probably read it to you years ago.
