I'm sure you'll receive other, more authoritative responses than mine on this subject, and since I'm sure the subject is of interest to those on the list, I am replying to the list as well. The only edition of "Letters From the Earth" that I have ever seen, is the Bernard DeVoto edition published some years ago. It contains some of the most humorous essays written by Twain, IMHO. This is one of my very favorite works by SLC, and if there are other editions of it around, I would very much like to know about them, as well as where they might be obtained. I've been a 'lurker' on the list for a couple of years. Allow me to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have shared your knowledge and scholarship. I've gained much from the exchanges.
