Dear Charley—
It occurs to me, now, that on the pilot house of that steamboat-wreck the artist has put TEXAS—having been misled ad by some of Huck’s remarks about the boat’s “texas”—a thing which is a part of every boat. That word had better be removed from that pilot house—that is where a boat’s name is put, & that particular boat[’]s name was Walter Scott, I think. It is mentioned in a later chapter.
