Marc,
SLC to John A. Lant, 28 September 1871:
Dear Lant--
Thank you kindly for the picture of tha baby. But it seems to me
you did not economise material to the best advantage: there is meat
enough in this youngster for *twins.* You could get your family finished
a good deal sooner if you would use more judgment. I wish I could send you
a picture of our baby, but I cannot, for the reason that they are all gone.
With the best wishes for you & yours---
Yr friend
S. L. Clemens.
A true copy.
