Paraphrase and transcript, Anderson Auction Company 1914, lot 101. The catalog describes the MS as ‘CLEMENS (S. L.—“Mark Twain”). A. L. S., 8vo, Hartford, Nov. 20, 1871, on a full letter-sheet with his monogram.’ The quotation marks around Clemens’s pseudonym reflect catalog style and do not indicate how he signed his letter. He and Olivia were both using only her monogramed stationery at this time (see OLC to Howland, 20 Nov 71click to open link, and SLC to OLC, 27 Nov 71click to open link).
