In a letter to Charles Webster, dated June 8, 1883 and transcribed in MARK TWAIN, BUSINESS MAN, p. 214, SLC instructs Webster to go to the Delaware, Lackawanna & Hudson to rent a special sleeping car to Elmira. He says he had formerly gotten the car from Mr. A. Reasoner but he had not received a reply yet. He writes Webster, “Go directly to the President of the road & he will tell you how to proceed.” Barb On Tuesday, August 24, 2021, Scott Holmes <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > The note on page 174 of Mark Twain's Notebooks and Journals Vol III > indicate that the editors of this volume knew that DL&W officers in Hoboken > were handling arrangements for the Clemenses special railway car.
