Dear Dr. Harris,


The only contact I have in those areas is Chris Leckie, on the faculty of the University of Melbourne.  It is unlikely that he knows anything personally, since he is in computer sciences, but if Twain got as far north as Melbourne Chris might know somebody who knows somebody.  If you think there's a chance he could be helpful, I'll ask him for you.

Subject: Following the Equator Trip


Dear Forum Members,
As some of you know, I have a project going that focuses on Twain=92s trip =
around the world=97the lecture tour that eventuated in Following the Equato=
r.  I am contemplating a couple of trips following in his footsteps=97espec=
ially to Australia and New Zealand (and maybe Tasmania), and to India.
I am writing to ask those of you who may be knowledgeable about these areas=
 if you know of any particular archives that may hold unpublished Twain mat=
erials and/or if there are colleges or universities that you know of that h=
ave faculty particularly interested in Twain.  If I do this trip, would be =
eager to make contacts among locals.
Thank you for any help you can give me!  --Susan Harris
