Hi Susan:

The railing is that of the  Hartford porch.  
The picture is, left-to-right, Clara, Livy, 
Jean,  SLC, and Susy.  The dog lies on
the ground in front of them.  Don't  know 
what breed, but his name was "Hash."

Susan--

Are you sure it's Hartford?   I've seen photos of the family in Elmira with 
a large dog, who belonged to the  Cranes, if memory serves.  

No doubt, someone with more  authoritative knowledge will weigh in.

Subject: Query

Dear All,

This is a query re  the photograph of Twain, Livy, and the girls outside 
the=
Hartford house,  sometime in the 80s, I assume.  They are sitting on the st=
eps of the  veranda and there is a large dog stretched out in front of 
them.=
I  would like to know a little bit about the dog.  Did it belong to the  Cl=
emens family?  Name? Breed?  Anyone know?

Many thanks.  --susan harris
