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.
