[Letter] Aug.22,1887,Clifton Springs [N.Y.] [to F.H. Giddings]

Clifton Springs [N.Y.] Aug. 22, 1887,

Dear Mr,. Giddings,
          Please give me
Cr. on your ledger for a
call. I went to your
office between trains,
as I was on the way
from Vermont here. Though
sorry not to find you I
rejoiced in the fact that
you were having a vacation.
I hope it has been as profitable
as mine appears to have
been. I have even now
little progress to report on
the joint article, but expect
to do something nearly every
day hereafter. This morning
my exercise has been having
a tooth extracted. It affords
entire relief from an ache
that has followed me, at
intervals through the summer.
I am very glad your
studies led you to the
conclusion concerning ultimate
profits that mine do. It will
be another instance of
complementary demonstration.
You must not detract in
any way from the credit due to yourself
in giving credit, as you speak of doing, to
me. You are generous, but I shall not
allow you to detract from what belongs to
you. I expect to remain here about three
weeks; my wife must stay two months more.
I shall hope to see you at the end of my
stay.

             Yours Very Truly,
                             J. B. Clark
