Thank you, Barbara.  You are so kind sharing your vast knowledge of Mark
Twain.
I was ashamed of myself for not doing any reearch on Ina before my
question.  I
was fascinated by many of the facts by her (mostly being Poet Laureat of
California)
but not one word of any intimate connection between her and Twain.  So I
appreciate your references.  It would be interesting to know the source of
that
idea!

THANKS,, grateful, Arianne Laidlaw
