The letter is as follows:
RICHMOND, Sept 26tli, 1853.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of the 21st has been.
received by Mr. Clemens, who requests me to
answer it. Mr.. Clemens is thankful to you for
this evidence of your friendly interest, and
would not hesitate to accept your Offer to come
on here, If there existed any necessity for your
so doing. The kindness of tho entire city, in
fact, in offering TO sit up with him, together
with that of his own personal friends, makes
such step by his Wheeling friends entirely
unnecessary.
Mr.. Clemens is getting on remarkably well.
The thigh bone is seriously fractured, but his
surgeons anticipate that he will be able to walk
in the course of six or eight weeks, unless some
untoWard accident OCCURS He has borne his
suferings with fortitude, only equaled by the
calm. courage he exhibited on the field Ihave
witnessed several duels, but never saw any man
conduct himself with calmer gallantry, or,
higher honor.
Very truly, your obedient servant,

KIT CARsoN.-Gordon Cumming aud Gerard. the

deal to make the world believe that Nimrod wasn't
much Of hunter in comparison with themselves.
They have succeeded to a certain extent because
people who read great deal and reason very little
are apt to be credulous not to say gulfble If their
actual exploits were set forth in a matter of fact
style they would not amonnt to much, and if com
pared with those of some of our own mountaneers
and hunters Of the vast Western plains would dwin-
die into insignifcance. Of a certainty we do not
wish to sdisparage the achievements of either the
scotchman or the Frenchman, but they have both
