There is very little mention of Quarry Farm in the Day By Day entries for the summer of 1880. The family was in Elmira from June to September. There was the birth of Jean and Livy seems to have been ill for the duration of their stay - which seems to have been limited to the Langdon home in Elmira. Twain finished the Prince and the Pauper and there is some mention of his spending ten days at Quarry Farm at the beginning of July. I suppose I will need to dig through some of his biographies for details but I hope for some leads and/or suggestions from Twain-L members about Twain's time at Quarry Farm for this season. I suspect he may have just walked there and back when he wanted time to write. Even though "Twain's Geography" is no longer on-line, I continue to work on it. -- /Unaffiliated Geographer and Twain aficionado/
