 Not everybody loved Twain's lecture on the Quaker City tour. On April 19, when Twain was giving that talk in San Francisco and other Western towns, the editor of the Marin County Journal, on April 19, on page 2, col. 1, wrote:
Sickening.—The San Francisco papers are going into raptures over Mark Twain's lecture on "Pilgrim Life." This miserable scribbler, whose letters in the Alta, sickened everyone who read them, and of which the proprietors of that paper were heartily ashamed has the audacity and impudence to attempt to lecture to an intelligent people.
