AHA!! Somebody needs to subscribe to the Mark Twain Journal! I cite the typescript, which was prepared by Robert Hirst at the Mark Twain Papers in 2003, in two of my recent essays in the MTJ--the Lick House Banquet, and Robert Bell's Quaker City journal. The MTP also has the original Denny journal ms. I have Denny's Arabic New Testament which he was given in Beirut during the excursion, but no other Denny materials.
