". . . The illustrations are apt and spirited. Did you see the Inter-Ocean's editorial reference to the story? It was quite a compliment.
"I have another story under way . . . ."
Harris's "The Comedy of War," was published on February 4, 1893, in the Inter Ocean. In the same newspaper, two days prior, an editor wrote of the story that, "It is . . . one of the brightest short stories of the day." The following June, the story was published in the first issue of McClure's Magazine.
