Mark Twain Day By Day was originally a print reference, meticulously created by David Fears, who has generously made this work available, via the Center for Mark Twain Studies, as a digital edition. Please recognize that this is a preliminary, BETA version of a resource which we will continue to develop in the coming years. While we are excited about the functionality it currently offers - for instance, the searchbar in the upper left-hand corner - we also recognize that there are numerous errors (to formatting, spacing, punctuation, etc.) which were not part of the print edition. Moreover, the formatting may change based upon which browser you use to access the site. Rest assured, we are continuing to work to correct these problems and increase functionality so as the maximize the accuracy, accessibility, and user-friendliness of the resource. If you encounter major technical difficulties or find entries that have been made particularly messy or indecipherable during the digitization process, please let us know via [email protected]

me. We did not know how to value it. We know now. / On Sunday the 21st Dr. Helmer came from
Vermont. Gave Livy a severe treatment. / Dr. Allen came yesterday & raised
our spirits. A marked change followed. / Dr. Putnam this morning. Said no sort
of reason she

mourning border for most letters from Susy’s death on, then from Livy’s death
on.
