Ah! Found it! Notebooks and Journals, Vol. 3. 1883- 1891. In notebook 30, from August 1890-June 1891.p. 606. Two entries: Huck comes back, 60 years old, from nobody knows where--and crazy. Thinks he is a boy again, & scans every face for Tom & Becky, etc. Tom comes at last, 60 from wandering the world & tends Huck, & together they talk the old times; both are desolate, life has been a failure, all that was lovable, all that was beautiful is under the mould. They die together.

And that's all. Where did I read that? It's not in anything I have on my shelf, except possibly the (full) Autobiography? Thanks for any and all pointers. /DDD CAUTION: This message originated from an external source
