ALS signed “S. L. Clemens,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 3.75 x 5.75, September 29, 1895. The author writes “Miss Buckley.” In full: “I am so disappointed. I was fully expecting to be there & have my share of the good times, this afternoon, but I am obliged to lose that pleasure. I have spent the last few days in bed trying to check a very persistent carbuncle—with no success—& I find I must continue that discipline. The society of a carbuncle is full of interest, but to get the fullest enjoyment out of it, one must seclude himself from other society & give all his devotion to that. I hope I may have the good pleasure to find you in, in case I am able to call before we leave Melbourne & so be able to thank you in person for the courtesy & compliment of your kind invitations to me & mine.” Clemens added ink to his pen as he was writing, resulting in the first page being slightly lighter. In fine condition, with central horizontal fold, light wrinkling, and a few spots of soiling. Clemens had traveled to Australia in 1895 as part of a world tour of 150 lectures, but was laid up for a week in Melbourne with a carbuncle and forced to cancel his lecture there.
