ALS signed “S. L. Clemens,” two pages, 4.5 x 5.75, August 13, 1902. Letter to Colonel Charles Fairchild, in full: “14 W. 10th is well enough, for a damn’d old rack heap, but the agent, something S. Brown—oh, well, if you rent for 12 months he will pretend it was for 9, & whatever his gesprachig underlings agree to put in the lease is very likely to turn up absent grant it. It contains one of the Christliest book-heaps I know of, but those old children of God who own it, & who live in Paris in order to be handy to heaven, cling to the key & leave the tenant to be damned for lack of the means of grace.” In fine condition, with a vertical crease passing through the signature.
