• MARK TWAIN SIGNED LETTER TO COLONEL
  MARK TWAIN SIGNED LETTER TO COLONEL GEORGE HARVEY Samuel Clemens one page autographed letter signed. Dated February 22, with no year present. Boldly written and signed letter to Colonel George Brinton McClellan Harvey (1864-1928), United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom and owner of Harper?s Weekly. The letter is asking about a having his nephew Sam Moffett pen an article for the North American Review, a literary magazine. Great insight into the everyday life of Clemens. Mark Twain had a propensity to only write on the outer parts of a folded letter which makes it easier to read and display. You cannot ask for a better signature than on this letter. Sam Moffett, after an illustrious career and as the editor at Collier?s Weekly Magazine, drowned on August 2, 1908.
