I'm nearing the end of reading the 2nd volume of Mark Twain's Letters (my local
college library has volumes 1 through 3).  I would have thought there would be many
more examples displaying the bawdy side of Twain - e.g. letters along the lines of
the two "cundrum" letters in volume two.  Can we be sure these volumes contain all
extant letters from Twain for the given time period, or are the letters included in
these volumes just the ones that were decided to be made public by perhaps Twain's
ancestors?
