I am a new member of the forum, so please forgive me if I ask any questions
that have been previously addressed.
Some years ago I read that Twain seriously contemplated suicide while a
reporter for the San Francisco Call. I have been unable to find that
reference again and the issue is not discussed in any of the other Twain
biographies I recently consulted. Is there evidence to suggest that Twain
did indeed contemplate suicide and, if so, where can I find more on this
subject?
Thanks for your help!
