ALS signed “SL Clemens,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 5.75, September 26, 1898. Letter to Edward W. Bok, publisher of the Ladies’ Home Journal. In full: “New address: Hotel Krantz Neuemarkt Vienna…It may be that you would prefer an article (‘The Memorable Assassination’) to that dream-story. I have just finished & sent it to my friend H.H. Rogers, Esq., 26 Broadway, with a photo or two of the Empress & the funeral procession. Price, $600. If you think you would rather have it than the ‘Platonic Sweetheart,’ send him word, or drop in there & read it.” In fine condition, with recipient’s name rubbed off, mild toning, a bit heavier to edges, and a trimmed top edge. My Platonic Sweetheart wasn’t published in Harper’s Weekly until December 1912, two years after he died. The Memorable Assassination was never published in any magazine. It was included in What Is Man? And Other Essays by Clemens, published by Harper & Brothers in 1917.
