Summary
Noting that he will send a copy of the as yet unnamed Scarlet Letter early next week, mentioning that he "cannot think of a name for the book, and fear[s] it must go to press without one," and that titling the work "has already cost [him] more perplexity than any fifty pages of the volume."
