Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: Twain, Mark
Title: Autograph Letter Signed as Samuel L. Clemens, to Andrew Chatto, requesting some of his printed works be sent to him
Place Published: Schloss-Hotel, Heidelberg, [Germany]
Publisher:
Date Published: June 3, [1878]
Description:

11 lines, in ink, on plain sheet of paper 21.5x14 cm. (8½x5½").

Mark Twain is sojourning in Heidelberg for several months, amusing himself and earning some money from lecturing - his experiences there were recounted in A Tramp Abroad, published in 1880. Desirous of some copies of his own books, perhaps to use in preparing his lectures, he writes to his English publisher: "My Dear Mr. Chatto: Won't you please send me a paper-covered copy of 'Innocents Abroad' & 'Roughing It' - & oblige Yours Faithfully, Samuel L. Clemens. Love to Conway."
