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"Winter-end Excursion to the Sutherd," written in March - April 1902 is often quoted but the entire body of it remains unpublished to my knowledge.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." Barb
