Larry Marshburne expressed an interest in more info about the Bierce/Twain relationship. There might be more information contained within the letters exchanged between Bierce and John C. Hotten who was a pirate of Twain's works in London. Rasumussen's _MTAZ_ also gives a brief mention of Bierce's involvement in Hotten's death (MTAZ, p. 211). The letters are documented in _Union Catalog of Letters to Clemens_, p. 23. There is also one letter from Bierce to Clemens dated 1910.10.13 and apparently annotated by Clemens. That letter might also be interesting to check out as well as any marginalia Clemens might have written on it. There is no documented letter of reply. Barb
