Thank you heartily for your letter. The “Library”6 position is a very good one, but I have only accepted
it temporarily. My family want to move to Lincoln4 and mother7
is too ill to attend to loading the cook stove in the wagon, and so I must
do it. I expect to be in Lincoln about November First, to stay for the
winter, and I shall not be too haughty to do some work on the Journal3 if you
can arrange it for me. I am not a good
loafer any more—I’ve lost the art of it, and if I wrote verse and storys all the time I’d soon look like Herbert
Bates8! I can do that sort of
thing three or four days out of every week, but not more; my heads gets
muddy. It has been a great old year though, the happiest of my life. I have
a lot of new things coming out this fall, both in prose and verse, and the word
world is a good place to live in.
