To Phillip Allingham. You were writing about a picture with the name "Pond" on it that had to do with Seattle and the trip Twain took to Australia and New Zealand. Could the Pond be the agent that arranged the trip -- that was the agent's name and there are several pictures with Pond on the photo and in the picture? I have been working on Following the Equator and would be interested in your area of work. I was in Australia in May of last year. [log in to unmask] I am a bit hampered with arm surgery so do not go into VAX as often as I would like, however, I will be come more active. My area is "illustration" and the illustrators of the first editions.
