Sorry to have delayed a response to Wes Britton's addendum on the Col. Sellers drama, but I've been up against a deadline in my day job. I have learned that "Col. Sellers as a Scientist" is published in the _Complete Plays of Wm. Dean Howells_ compiled by Walter Meserve, c. 1957. I haven't had time to read the play, nor do I have access to the recently published Sellers play that started this thread, so I can't compare the two. Meserve provides detailed info on the manuscript sources for the play as he prints it. I mostly lurk on this list to pick up any shards of information that will help my by now further-behind-than-usual dissertation on Howells. I've let pass a number of slights to "my boy" on this list in recent months and will content myself now with simply observing that I wish comments on the Howells-Twain relationship were better informed. The complete correspondence between the two has been in print for some thirty years but seems not to be very frequently consulted. Should anyone on the list be willing to part with this under-utilized item, I would be happy to take it off your hands. My local library has only the one-volume edition, and I really need the full two volumes. Twain didn't work in a vacuum, and Howells' influence on both Twain's work and his reputation was far more extensive and more positive than Forum subscribers seem to understand it. Read their letters. And if you'd rather not read them yourself, please let me know where I can find a copy for sale. Thanks. Peg Wherry Weber State University
