In Archibald Henderson's 1911/1912 book MARK TWAIN, he quotes Harte's
description of Mark Twain, when he first met him:
His head was striking.  He had the curly hair, the aquiline eye--an eye so
eagle-like that a second lid would not have surprised me--of an unusual and
dominant nature.  His eyebrows were very thick and bushy.  His dress was
careless, and his general manner was one of supreme indifference to
surroundings and circumstances.  Barnes introduced him as Mr.  Sam Clemens,
and remarked that he had shown a very unusual talent in a number of
newspaper articles contributed over the signature of 'Mark Twain'."
        Can anyone tell me where that dsecription was published?  [I LIKE
it!]
