me entrance. My problem is establishing a price for something I want without waiting it or being willing to pay for it. I find that assuming they will double underline: give you something they don't want is ridiculous. I have tried to decide which I enjoy more - Aquiring [sic] possession or Driving a bargain. In fact so many thoughts have crossed my mind since I got into collecting that I am sure there is an article available if I could only organize it. The association with the two fellows I collect with is almost reward enough for all my efforts.

   Last week I was invited to speak on Twain for the first time.  I would like other invitations as I enjoy my subject and the society.
   I have only one copy of "Mark Twain at Your Fingertips" and the book is out of print.   One of your friends could surely find it and it would be great for company while you recuperate.  You could read one line, section, or chapter as you wished.  You get nothing but the kernels.  Great food for thought.
   I think I am writing clearly but when I re-read it I am not so sure.   You are probably tired of trying by now.  I hope you recover quickly.

Yours truly, Roswell Henderson
