The writer Bobbie Ann Mason visited us at the Naval Academy two weeks ago. She has developed quite an interest in Twain. She asked about relatives of Twain who might be living today, and I could not answer her question. Since she has repeated the question in a letter, I would be most grateful for your help in arriving at an answer. She says, "I can't figure out how this young woman I met named Farrah Clemens is descended from him. She said he was her grandfather's great-uncle. That would suggest she was descended from Orion Clemens. But I can't find any references to any offspring, other than Jenny, who died. Perhaps she was descended from a brother of John Marshall Clemens, Twain's father. Do you have a clue. This lovely young woman, Farrah, who looked amazingly like Susy Clemens, did'nt know much at all about Samuel Clemens. She's from Colorado." Thanks in advance for any help. DAVID TOMLINSON U. S.
