To Mr. Hall, in New York:  
BERLIN, Nov. 27, '91.  
DEAR MR. HALL,--That kind of a statement is valuable. It came this  
morning. This is the first time since the business began that I have had  
a report that furnished the kind of information I wanted, and was  
really enlightening and satisfactory. Keep it up. Don't let it fall into  
desuetude.  
Everything looks so fine and handsome with the business, now, that  
I feel a great let-up from depression. The rewards of your long and  
patient industry are on their way, and their arrival safe in port,  
presently, seems assured.  
By George, I shall be glad when the ship comes in!  
My arm is so much better that I was able to make a speech last night to  
2
50 Americans. But when they threw my portrait on the screen it was  
a sorrowful reminder, for it was from a negative of 15 years ago, and  
hadn't a gray hair in it. And now that my arm is better, I have stolen  
a couple of days and finished up a couple of McClure letters that have  
been lying a long time.  
I shall mail one of them to you next Tuesday--registered. Lookout for  
it.
