To Charles L. Webster
25 June 1884 • Elmira, N.Y. (MS, in pencil: NPV, UCCL 02995)
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.
