The Danish-American (Independent Weekly) per Emil Opffer wrote from the Tribune Bldg., NYC:
You would confer a great favor on the Danish-Americans, if you once for all would state in our paper, that you never read the story of Steen Steensen Blicher: ‘Priesten Veilby.’ (the Priest of Veilby). We Danish-American’s think so much of you and your writings, that we don’t want to see you unjustly accused [MTP].
Note: ABP; “Dear sir: Mr Clemens is not in America at this time, but I can state ... for him that he has never read the story “Priesten Veilby” nor had he to the best of his knowledge, ever heard of it when he wrote Tom Sawyer...”
Edward A. Murray wrote from Cape Colony, S. Africa: “. ..your books have been of infinite service to me and to offer you my sincerest sympathy in your recent troubles” [MTP],
