Clemens bought a typewriter in 1874 and wrote practice letters to W. D.
Howells and Orion Clemens on Dec. 9. (Fishkin, _Lighting Out_,
pp.174,244)
"Portions of _Life on the Mississippi_ were submitted to the publisher
typed" (Fishkin, 174). Clemens did not type them himself; they were
transcribed from his longhand. Horst Kruse "suspect[s] that the
typescript was desirable . . . to hide . . . the use of source materials,
often in the form of clippings, frequently without proper acknowledgment,
from publishers and printers" (_M.T. and "Life on the Miss."_, 134).
Clemens also had other manuscripts (_Tom Sawyer Abroad_ and _Tom Sawyer,
Detective_) typed and made revisions to the typed copy, but he did not do
the typing. (_TSA::TSD_,189-191)
