November – An unsigned article ran in Bookman (London) titled, “To an Old Humorist” with passing references to Mark Twain, who is grouped with Rabelais, Swift, Sterne, Dickens, and Holmes. “If Mark Twain had to be judged by his Connecticut Yankee at the Court of King Arthur, he would have but an indifferent reputation with at least half the English-speaking race” [Tenney 19].

Sam’s NB 31, TS 13: “Get Don Juan” referred to Lord Byron’s Don Juan (pub. 1819-24) [Gribben 121]. Note: this is lined out from a list of things to do, get.

Joe Twichell inscribed a copy of his biography, John Winthrop, First Governor of the Massachusetts Colony (1891) to Sam: To Mark Twain, / with the unbounded love / of his ancient (and modern) friend. / Joseph H. Twichell / Hartford. / Nov. 1891 [Gribben 719].
