Melrose, Mass., / Oct. 20, 1883./ Dear Miss Field, / I have hardly a desirable
evening left, until after Christmas – and then I go West. The best date I can offer you is Monday, Nov. 5. I enclose a circular that you may choose a lecture if the date and terms suit you. Terms $50. The lecture that I am giving most is “The Boys of Today”. It is as popular as “The Coming Man”, which I think I have given in Claremont. If I have not, I advise you to choose that. Let me hear from you as soon as possible. / Yrs. Truly, /M. D. Livermore
