In a letter to the Territorial Enterprise dated Feb. 5, 1868 and printed on March 1, 1868 Twain writes a very colorful column about meeting on the street of Broadway in New York a picturesque character/con artist/journalist/Fenian named Felix O'Byrne -- someone he had known from his days in San Francisco. According to Twain, Felix "said he had always remembered me for saying a merciful word in print for him when he was being sorely hunted by the press of San Francisco." Does the earlier Twain writing related to Felix O'Byrne survive in any collection of his San Francisco writing? Barb
