Last summer when a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle found out I published Mark Twain Electronically, he wrote asking me to confirm a quote. He may have made contact here too and I am sorry if the question is repeated I haven't scanned all the archives yet. At any rate, he asked if Twain really ever did say: "The coldest winter I have ever spent was one summer in San Francisco." I have scanned everything I have in my machine and can't find this quote. Does anyone know if it is authentic? Secondly, Mr. Holbrook tells the story of the Tennessee Girl whose family is moving to Missouri and when it comes time to go she stands in front of her house and says: Goodbye house, I'm goin' to Missourri. Goodbye grass.....sky, etc. Then says Good by God I'm goin' to Missouri. Mr. Holbrook does not know (according to Mary Ann Curling ) where the reference is. Again, Is this a real Twain story? People are asking me.
