Hi John,


As far as I'm aware Twain's longest accounts of Keeler were in his autobiography (Volume 1, 150 onwards) and scattered references in letters to Howells. I don't recall an essay from 1873 but it has been a minute since I was really researching Keeler. I wrote an article about him and his friendships with Twain (and Howells and Aldrich) which you might be able to get here:

If not, I'm happy to send you a copy. It's always nice to see someone taking an interest in Keeler!


Best wishes,

Tom

Howells wrote that Twain wrote an essay about Ralph Keeler [who died in (c) 1873].
