Relative to changing Twain's spelling and or wording, I recall reading an article
where Twain lectured (hectored?) the editors of a newspaper after his words
had been changed. As I recall, he said something along the lines of editors can
excise sentences, even paragraphs, but never change his words.
Does anyone know where I can find that piece?

I cannot permit "an" hospitable. Unless that *n *is removed, you must allow
me to append a disclaimer in the form of a footnote. Please see that it is
removed. One might as well say an horse or an whore.
