Also would add that the Begum of Bengal speech was reprised in New York at the last Lotos Club Speech, delivered on Jan. 11, 1908. The Lotos Club honored Twain several times, is still in existence today, and one can see the original James Montgomery Flagg portrait of Twain there. Suggest you consider checking out Fatout pp. 603-611 as well. Best regards, Roger Durrett
