Letter from Albert Bigelow Paine, New York, New York, to Edward Wagenknecht, 1932 April 17 : typescript signed.

Expressing uncertainty about the publication date of Life and Lillian Gish; advising him not to write to Mrs. Gabrilowitsch [i.e. Clara Clemens, Mark Twain's daughter] because of "trouble over another Mark Twain matter lately--over a book of letters issued by an irresponsible pirate in Boston, for a young man named Cyril Clemens, who is a remote cousin and an ever present nuisance, who has what he calls a 'Mark Twain Society' which she ... has lately recognized"; informing him that "final permission must come from the trustees of the estate, through the attorney Charles T. Lark"; stating that he still hopes to use Wagenknecht's study of Lillian Gish for his own book; expressing concern that his publishers might "object to its length."
