[Letter] [c. 1873] 13th, Elmira [to] Warner / Saml L. Clemens.
No full textSee also additional letters in the collection from Twain.Twain tells Warner that the "surplusage" in the contract of "about 600 pages" is unnecessary; he instructs Warner to tell Bliss to take it out, and amend the contract to state that they will provide him with the manuscript for _The Gilded Age_. He states that he and "Livy" are a little rusty as the baby was sick and kept them up "seven tenths of the night." In a postscript, Twain tells Warner that the sensational Lackland is "perhaps better suited to the stage than a book." The recipient of the letter, Charles Dudley Warner, was Twain\u27s co-author for his satirical _The Gilded Age_ (1873). Novelist, essayist, lecturer, prospector, river pilot, and journalist, Samuel Langhorne Clemens used the pseudonym "Mark Twain," a river pilot\u27s catchphrase for measuring depth. His boyhood and early apprenticeship as a river boat pilot on the Mississippi provided much of the background for his most well-known works _The Adventures of Tom Sawyer_ (1876) and _The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_ (1884)

Robert Warner and his Fight for Independence of Archives
No full textThis article is dedicated to the life and work of the 6th Archivist of the U.S.A. R. M. Warner, his struggle for the independence of the National Archives of the USA from the United States General Services Administration, the events of XXI International Conference of the Round Table on Archives, CITRA, (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), that was held in a complex international setting during the Lebanon War in 1982. Defending the State of Israel’s right to participate in the conference, R. M. Warner proved that the International Council on Archives is a professional organization of archivists around the world and cannot be subjected to political influence. A leading role in the personality of the head of the Archives is played by vocational education, which allows them to understand the essence of things, to experience all the facets of the problems of his profession and the field, which they manage. Gained experience is also very important, not only in the professional area, but also in the area of historical and archival science. Of course, the leader must possess personal communication skills and a certain charisma. The most important criterion of the head of the Archives is their non-participation in political parties and radical religious movements. Robert Warner met all these requirements. Not many would dare to risk their careers and confront the powers that be in upholding the principle of «archives out of politics». The author also focuses on the key figures of the described events – the archivists of Israel, the Soviet Union and Malaysia
