MAGAZINES

Do you know, Madam, that I would rather write for a Magazine for $2 a page than for a newspaper at $10? I would. One takes more pains, the "truck" looks nicer in print, & one has a pleasanter audience. It is the difference between lecturing in "the States" & doing the same thing in delectable Nevada.
- Letter to Mary Fairbanks, May 29, 1870
