Obtain the 2-volume set of Twain-Howells letters, Belknap Press/Harvard, circa 1960, and locate the James-related letters in the index. Likely your best starting point, other than the UC-Berkeley MT Papers site, which is easily searchable and includes text or summaries of relevant notes and letters.

-------------- Original message from Mark Dawidziak <[log in to unmask]>: --------------
> A friend is working on a paper about Mark Twain and James (that's
> Henry, not Jesse). He has asked me to forward this question to the
> Forum: Beyond the standard biographies of both men and the "Turn East,
> Turn West" book, is there a significant work examining what Twain felt
> about James and James felt about Twain? He has found an intriguing 1910
> essay about them -- "Two Frontiersmen" -- but is hoping for something a
> tad more recent.
> He knows of the infamous shot Twain took at "The Bostonians" in the
> 1885 letter to Howells, and he knows about their scattered meetings. Any
> suggestions?
