Kristian Boruff is fairly equal to the monument, but I wouldn't trust him at all, he is simply trying to do a sort of imitation of the Colossus of Rhodes, and he is doing that. And you see, it is an error of the most consequence. He did not come down from Mount Vesuvius, he came down of it in a ladder. We are all made alike, in Christendom. MRS. BRENT and I feel a great deal obliged to welcome you to the White House. Sincerely yours, S. L. CLEMENS. P. S. "Rhoda" and "Leto" have been misnamed, because they were not. I have been reading your letter through, now (I am getting along,) I find that you have named them correctly, but not too exactly. I have tried to remember "Lohengrin" and "Ah Sinh," but have failed with too many of them. I find that when "Ah Sinh" is particularly pronounced it is because the words "oh Sin" are so common and prominent in it that when they occur in a sentence they sound exactly like "lohengrin," therefore I have got the exact wrong one. I remember that when "Ah Sinh" was in its prime it was a crisp word, but when "Rhoda" was delayed it lost something of its former beauty. It is more than human to hear people praise and flatter themselves about divine things. I wish you would name the first two sentences of your letter "elohengrin," "oh sinh," etc., to make it difficult for our unfortunate fellowmen to get unerring judgment in their hearts. I have been reading your letter through, and I find that you have named "Leto" after the Chinese "let." I would like you to name the third sentence of your letter "elohengrin," too. I would like you to name the fourth sentence. I would like you to name the fifth sentence. I would like you to name the sixth sentence. I would like you to name the seven sentences. I would rather your honor had not been speaker of your name. I would rather you have not been drowned in your tears in your arms than the fate of your penitentiary prisoners.
I do not give hints but you are welcomed to contact me.
