Joe Alvarez and David Tomlinson are right in advising you that Vic Doyno is the best authority on the HF manuscript. Vic doesn't have an e-mail address, but you can reach him by the standard route at the address David gave you (perhaps inserting "English Department" at the appropriate spot). The Random House edition of Huckleberry Finn is expected in early 1996. It will include Vic's commentary and his selection of portions of the manuscript to be published in that volume. I think its appearance will be a big event for Twain scholarship. --Jim Leonard
