Thanks for that, Kevin. I figured you might reply. When I wrote my original note, I was thinking of your terrific presentation on Stormfield at Elmira and recalled your discussion of Clara's rooms. Not much mystery about the room in which Mark Twain himself was born. The recent Hannibal conference included a visit to the Mark Twain Birthplace Museum in Florida, where the house in which he was born is preserved. We could actually touch the outside of the house and stick our heads in it through the windows and doorways. The two-room house is so small, people reaching in through the windows on opposite sides could practically shake hands. Incidentally, we also visited the original site of the house. Not much to see there now, but it was exciting merely to be at the site. (Mark Twain warn't kidding when he described Florida as "nearly invisible." According to Henry, the town's present population is zero. Anyone born there now would increase the population by a a great deal more than 1 percent.)
