) Dear John (I have always wanted to say that) Do you by any chance include the house where Ulysses S Grant lived before he became president? Somewhere I read that Clemens and some reporter friend of his went to that house to contact grants father to take him out drinking. I can’t remember where I heard that or read it. Have you heard that story? I would love to pin down the source of it And to know which reporter friend was with him. Thanks for any help. I sure would love to go on your tour if I ever get back to New York. Thanks again Arianne Laidlaw On Tue, Jun 18, 2019 at 12:03 PM John H.
