MARK TWAIN: His real name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens. He was one of America’s most famous writers. Best known as a humorist, he also wrote wonderful descriptions and satire. None have portrayed real boy nature as he has in “Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn.” Few have more friends, for despite fame, he remained unaffected and simple to his death in 1910.
How much like April it has seemed today. This afternoon’s light shower has left the air so moist and fresh and crisp. It is not cold. Some of the Friendly girls went for a hike. What a wonderful evening for a walk. The stars seem so clear. How lovely it would have been to be with you. “Oh, how I miss you tonight.”
