Hi All,
Long-time reader, first-time writer.

I am trying to find out which work Clemens & Duneka could be referring
to in a correspondance in summer, 1905.

On or around July 20, 1905, Clemens wrote to Frederick Duneka:
"Miss Lyon sent the enclosed crossed-out plagiarism to you...all I want
is, that you shall burn it & print  the enclosed 'Lantern for Sale' in
the Weekly instead." [note, MTP has nothing enclosed with this letter]

To which Duneka replies on July 27th, 1905:
"Your 'Diogenes Lamp' correction reached here in time so that it was
substituted for 'The Honest Man' letter."

Around this time, there is discussion of publishing Twain's "The Honest
Rebel"-- that may be "The Honest Man" letter (?).
But the Lantern/Lamp piece...?

According to Rasmussen (A-Z), the only thing published around this time
was "A Monument to Adam" and "King Leopold's Soliloquy."
And they don't seem to fit (or am I missing something?).

Does anyone have any idea what either man could be referring to?
A story connected to Diogenes or his Lamp?
A plagiarism that arose during this time?
Other published works that I'm overlooking?

I'd appreciate ANY help or direction and will follow any leads.
Thanks,
