April 5 Sunday – Robert W. Carl sent a note and a clipping from this day’s New York Recorder, which he called, “a comparatively new journal.” The article was titled, “MARK TWAIN’S REVENGE,” the story from Sen. William M. Stewart’s perspective of why Sam’s RI featured an unflattering illustration of the Senator. Jones claimed the picture was published due to his threat to “flog” Sam in Washington, D.C. in 1867 for returning late to his rooming house — after midnight Sam “would sit up until nearly morning, reading, smoking, whistling and singing,” which caused anxiety for the landlady [MTP].
