March 21 Tuesday – Isabel Lyon’s journal:

Tonight Mr. Clemens read a very interesting unpublishable sketch. Unpublishable because it is what an old darkey says of the universal brotherhood of man—and how it couldn’t ever be, not even in heaven—for there are only white angels there and in the old darkey’s vision the niggers were all sent around to the back door. It’s a wonderful little sketch but it wouldn’t do for the clergy. They couldn’t stand it. It’s too true.

Mrs. Crane has given me some wonderful headache tablets—they stop the headaches!! [MTP: TS 46]. Note: see Tuckey’s Fables of Man p. 8-10 regarding this missing manuscript.
