Description: MARK TWAIN To Mrs. FairbanksEdited by Dixon WecterHuntington Library, San Marino, CA, 1949, First EditionHardcover, very good condition, lacking dust jacketHuntington Library PublicationsCONTENTS: Introduction The Courtship of Livy The New Household The Busy Years IndexFew letters written by Samuel Langhorne Clemens - know under the most famous pseudonym in American literature as Mark Twain - are more revealing of himself than those addressed to Mary Mason Fairbanks. To women he sometimes disclosed an aspect of his character and sensibility rarely suspected by the average reader of Clemens' books; with Mrs. Fairbanks he discussed intimately and fully a variety of problems ranging from his literary ambitions to the none-too-easy courtship of his future wife. These hitherto unpublished letters shed important light upon the development of Samuel Clemens, particularly during the years between his coming out of the West in 1867 and his settling in Hartford with wife and family in 1871.
