Declines her request for an interview. The letter is written on mourning stationery. Transcription: London, Jan. 29/97. Dear Miss Hayward ? I am still a recluse & see none of my species ? a condition of things which must continue many months yet. If I would allow myself to be interviewed at all, I would say to you Come! but I am not going to be interviewed so long as I am in retirement in England. In some countries I might find it difficult to escape, but one is safe here. Sincerely Yours SL Clemens / Title: Letter signed SL Clemens, London, to Miss Hayward [Florence Hayward], January 29, 1
