Dear Group: One of the first stories ever related to me concerning Mark Twain's family had to do with hiring a wet nurse for Susan as Livy couldn't breast-feed. They wondered why the baby, formerly so restless and crying, was suddenly sleeping quite soundly. Someone, My guess is Livy herself, discovered that the black woman whom they had hired was quite accustomed to a good bit of gin. I loved the story and embarrassed myself by telling it at an entrance tea held at my perspective college, not knowing the dean was present. She laughed and was good-natured about the whole incident, but my mother wanted to kill me. Camy
