A 1970 news report indicates Twain's Ashcroft-Lyon manuscript was purchased by the New York Library - Berg Collection for a price in excess of $25,000. Subsequent books related to Twain including H. Hill's _Mark Twain: God's Fool_ (1973) reference the Ashcroft-Lyon manuscript as being at MTP. Is the 1970 news report inaccurate or is there some other reason the Berg Collection is not referenced as the owner of the Ashcroft-Lyon manuscript? Barb
