June 26 Monday – Samuel E. Moffett for the N.Y. Journal wrote to Sam, enclosing a printed bio sketch of Mark Twain. Moffett apologized for the delay on revisions; some question had arisen as to the proper length. He discussed Twain’s ancestor research on Gregory Clement and on the Lambtons. Moffett felt the bio still seemed very “short and bald” and “a lot more personal details ought to be worked in, but Mr. Bliss seemed to think that only a short sketch was wanted” [MTP].

Sam’s notebook: “Miss Ffyffe” [NB 40 TS 57]. Not further identified.
