Summary
Praising Wagenknecht's book, "Mark Twain: The Man and His Work"; remarking that, though he did not mention them in his review in The New York Times, he has "four or five minute points I should take issue with"; noting a story that he knew better than what Albert Paine wrote in "Mark Twain's Notebook"; hoping Wagenknecht will read his book, "Mark Twain's America", and notify him about any mistakes, as he expects to rewrite the book at some point to include further details on Twain's style and other points.
