troubled, myself, considering the dreary fact that we are getting deeper
and deeper in debt and the L. A. L. getting to be a heavier and heavier

Sincerely Yours
S. L. CLEMENS.

July 8, '92.
DEAR MR. HALL,--I am sincerely glad you are going to sell L. A. L. I am
glad you are shutting off the agents, and I hope the fatal book will

for us, rich a prize as it will be to any competent house that gets it.
I hope you are making an effort to sell before you discharge too many
