Greetings from balmy Bermuda... 

I found the handwritten and unsigned "Etiquetical Requirements" in Helen Allen's
scrapbook in the archive back in January 2014 and sent a photo to Vic Fischer and
Ben Griffin in Berkeley to confirm it was SLC's. The scrapbook is jammed with photos
and artifacts. That one jumped out at me because his handwriting is so distinctive.
I suppose because it was unsigned, the keepers of the vault didn't realize it was his.
In March 2014 _The Times_ of London ran a piece about this and an unpublished
poem found by Anne-Marie Walsh. Anne-Marie curated the Twain exhibit at
Masterworks. A link to that article:
