This page proof, the only proof known to survive for A Connecticut Yankee, is now in The Estelle Doheny Collection of The Edward Laurence Doheny Memorial Library, St. John’s Seminary, Camarillo, California. The proof is from the set sent to William Dean Howells (see the textual introduction, p. 588). Howells underlined “disembowel” and “kidneys” and wrote the question mark in the margin; Mark Twain wrote the notes which run perpendicularly up both margins; E. C. Stedman attempted to rewrite the sentence in the lower left margin; the note on the verso signed “CLW & Co.” is by Fred Hall. All these notes, and Clemens’ note to Hall on the verso, are transcribed in the textual note to 481.8–9.
