Letter from Ambrose Bierce, Wrights, California, to Belle Hershberg, Oakland, CA 1898 AUG 30

Containers:

Box 4

Scope and content:

Bierce declines a guided tour of Silver Lake due to his poor health and continues by teasing Belle about her younger sister, "I'm thinking seriously of transferring my love from Hattie to you. You don't move away without notice, and - well, your mother's right in worrying about Hattie. That girl needs a convent worse than Selma - a convent with more austere 'sisters' and higher walls, topped with broken glass. A sentinel with a repeating rifle might be added." [#5992-p]
