In "The Death of Jean," Twain wrote:

This morning I sent the sorrowful facts of this day's irremediable disaster to the Associated Press. Will both appear in this evening's papers?-- the one so blithe, the other so tragic?
Did they both appear in the same edition of the papers - Twain's denial of the precariousness of his own health, and the report of Jean's death?
