Thank you all for responding to my previous message and the PDFs. My apologies for that subject line. It didn't look like that when I hit the send button. Ms. Shillingsburg's concluding paragraph reinforces my contention that Charles Casey is and was The Mark Twain Club of Carrington Castle and that Twain's tale in chapter 25 of "Following the Equator" is a fabrication. I suggest that the club badge is born from the Bendigo keepsake letter cover. Casey's work on the Great Pyramid, with its series of revisions, indicates his attraction to inventing complex constructs, just the kind of thing the Mark Twain Club seems to have been. Casey's letter to U.S. Grant demonstrates his dissatisfaction with living in Ireland and his desire to be associated with some form of Americana. What better way to do that than to immerse oneself in Mark Twain. It's possible that Casey was as much a story teller as Twain but he is registered as the owner of 5 acres of land in County Carlow and residing in Pollerton Castle. The castle remains on a 2 acre estate and is the home of R. Healy and Son Funeral Directors.
