This question was referred to me from the Library of Congress: Twain said "I refused to attend his funeral but sent a very nice letter saying I approved of it." To whom was he referring? In Alex Ayres's _Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain_, Ayres states this quote is in regard to a Tammany leader and the remark was made to a newspaper reporter (p. 180). Can this quote be further verified with a more specific citation? Barb
