Again, I thank everyone for the help you've given me in the past.  My query
here is about Twain's opinion of Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden."  I
am trying to find out if T made any evaluative comments about it--or any
comments at all.  Alan Gribben mentions a bunch of other Kipling works that
T owned or commented on, and I know they knew each other.  But so far I have
not found anything pertaining to "The White Man's Burden."  Did he just not
want to comment because they were friends?  Or have I just been looking in
all the wrong places?

By the way, an editor friend just passed me the galley copy of Who Is Mark
Twain?, the collection of previously unpublished pieces assembled &
introduced by Bob Hirst and published (or soon to be published) by
HarperCollins.
 It looks terrific.  --s
