Clemens's manuscript "Winter-end Excursion to the Sutherd," written in
March - April 1902 is often quoted but the entire body of it remains
unpublished to my knowledge.  It contains what Peter Messent has recently
described as "another side of Clemens here in his (unsurprising) tendency to
echo the racist language and assumptions that were shared by most of the
wealthy upper classes of his American time" (Messent, _Mark Twain and Male
Friendship_.)  The opinions and prejudices evinced in Clemens's manuscript
are extreme but again Messent describes them as "harmlessly contained within
the upper-class social whole."
