The Associated Press has a feature story on the wires about Mark Twain letters. The story that I saw in Thursday's St. Louis Post Dispatch had a photo of Bob Hirst and great interviews with him, Kevin MacDonnell and Robert Slotta. A theme of the story is about the prices the letters bring. I know that some folks poopoo the collectors market, but my experience is that stories like this tend to flush things out of the woodwork. I have been very pleasantly surprised by the number of people who call me whenever there is anything in the local press. I have been tipped to some wonderful material in this fashion. Hopefully this story will bring some new information to light. Thanks to Mr. Hirst, Mr. MacDonnell and Mr. Slotta for sharing their expertise. Look for the article in your regional presses. Maybe you will get the call about an important new letter! Terrell
