To H. H. Rogers, in New York City:  
169 RUE DE L'UNIVERSITE,  
Apr. 29, '95.  
DEAR MR. ROGERS,--Your felicitous delightful letter of the 15th arrived  
three days ago, and brought great pleasure into the house.  
There is one thing that weighs heavily on Mrs. Clemens and me. That is  
Brusnahan's money. If he is satisfied to have it invested in the Chicago  
enterprise, well and good; if not, we would like to have the money  
paid back to him. I will give him as many months to decide in as he  
pleases--let him name 6 or 10 or 12--and we will let the money stay  
where it is in your hands till the time is up. Will Miss Harrison  
tell him so? I mean if you approve. I would like him to have a good  
investment, but would meantime prefer to protect him against loss.  
At 6 minutes past 7, yesterday evening, Joan of Arc was burned at the  
stake.
