Saturday seems to have been made for mowing the lawn,...
I like Twain's philosophy of consenting to lend his neighbor
his lawn mower, as long as he used it in Twain's yard. Probably
won't help Hal much today, however.
A quick Google of the subject yielded some interesting results
and a link the length of a bible:

Many of the letters exist. Most can be found, apparently, in the
Hamilton College library. Some were gifts from Clara to Caroline
Thomas Harnsberger.
For those interested, I searched louise brownell +susy clemens +letters.
I have only included the one link here, but there are many more avenues
to explore.

PS: In response to Camy's initial inquiry, I do recall that at some point
Twain "discovered," or at least came to believe, that his girls were
afraid of him. Whether that was a result of his mercurial fits of
temper
or some other distancing factor would require delving into some
books.
Not averse to that, of course, but,...the back lawn needs mowing.
