AHA!!  Somebody needs to subscribe to the Mark Twain Journal!

I cite the typescript, which was prepared by Robert Hirst at the Mark 
Twain Papers in 2003, in two of my recent essays in the MTJ--the Lick 
House Banquet, and Robert Bell's Quaker City journal.

The MTP also has the original Denny journal ms.

I have Denny's Arabic New Testament which he was given in Beirut during 
the excursion, but no other Denny materials.

Subject: Typescript of William Denny's journal

>The University of Virginia has a microfilm of a 274pg typescript of the journal of William R. Denny during the voyage of the Quaker City:
>
>https://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaxtf/view?docId=uva-sc/viu03491.xml
>I asked about it at the library, and was told that pages 142-201 are missing from the microfilm.
>
>So my question is, what is the origin of the typescript? Is there a full copy of it somewhere?
>
>And whether or not, does someone have a digital copy of the typescript? I don’t mind ordering a copy, or getting the microfilm and doing it myself, but in either case it will take over a month so I’m hoping someone might have it already.

>Thanks,
