I read somewhere that Twain lived on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco. If that is true, does anyone have an address or addresses? A residence other than the Occidental Hotel? During our three-month Twain trip around America, we were distracted by smash-and-grabbers who broke into our van in San Francisco. So we lost a day replacing a van window. But I have a chance to return to SF in November. I would like to track Mark Twain's path in the city. Any suggestions, on Telegraph Hill or elsewhere? Thanks for considering my request.

In the footage, besides our boy, there's also the two girls, and the butler, who brings a hat. You see, the butler did it.
