But if the hour is too early or too late for you, I shall obscure myself  
somewhere till I can come to the office.

Nothing of importance happened in America. The new Paige company  
had a factory started in Chicago and expected to manufacture fifty  
machines as a beginning. They claimed to have capital, or to be  
able to command it, and as the main control had passed from  
Clemens's hands, he could do no more than look over the ground and  
hope for the best. As for the business, about all that he could do  
was to sign certain notes necessary to provide such additional  
capital as was needed, and agree with Hall that hereafter they would  
concentrate their efforts and resist further temptation in the way  
of new enterprise. Then he returned to Bad-Nauheim and settled down  
to literature. This was the middle of July, and he must have worked  
pretty steadily, for he presently had a variety of MSS. ready to  
offer.
