Susan, Lou gave us some of his papers when he moved out of his office at Duke. We have his working papers for the Interviews, the Contemporary Reviews and a collection of Twain caricatures that he compiled along with other papers that he thought might be of interest to Twain researchers. We don't have much in the way of his personal papers and I'm not sure what might have become of those. He seemed to be distributing things where he thought they'd be of greatest use but he probably didn't think of his personal papers as being of much use to anyone. In any case, we'd be happy to take anything of Lou's and keep it with what we have from him unless you find that there's a collection already started somewhere.
