Randy, Welcome to the Forum. "The Case of Rev. Dr. Ament, Missionary" was left unpublished so it is not likely to be available online. I don't think it is available in print yet, either. Twain set the essay aside after Ament clarified that the "thirteen times extra" indemnity collected by the missionaries was really "one-third extra." Twain then wrote and published "To My Missionary Critics" instead. There are abstracts of the papers presented at Elmira in the program available online at http://www.elmira.edu/resources/shared/pdf/academics/distinctive_progr ams/twain_center/05conference_sched.pdf BTW, I was flattered to see that the people who run the English program at the Nanjing University of Science and Technology think William Dean Howells and I are the only people whose writings about Mark Twain are worth reading: http://yywx.njust.edu.cn/culture/literature/LitCriticism/ That is, I was flattered until I noticed that ClassicNotes is their only source on Richard Wright's works. :-) Jim Zwick
