June 10 Wednesday – Dorothy Sturgis wrote from Woodstock, Vt. on Woodstock Inn stationery:

My dear Mr. Clemens.

      Do please tell me who wrote “the Servant in the House”! I am ashamed to say I don’t know. But now we are “quits” because you didn’t know what state Woodstock was in. If you find my last letter please peruse its contents very carefully; if not, remember that I want you to come up here awfully badly! There’s a sweet little girl up here too, whom I’m sure you’d be entirely captured by! Besides I should think it would be horrid in New York now. / … I have taken to writing poetry! Silly verses about the people here…” She includes a verse about a lawyer there named Skeels [MTP; not in MTAq].
