In 1877 the "San Francisco (Cal.) Alta" pub. lished the following letter from Mr. Clemens to Mr. John A. McPherson of that city, in which the former gentleman explains how he came to adopt the pseudonym:

"DEAR SIR, Mark Twain' was the nom de plume of one Capt. Isaiah Sellers, who used to write river news over it for the New Orleans 'Picayune.' He died in 1863, and as he could no longer need that signature, I laid violent hands upon it without asking permission of the proprietor's remains. That is the history of the nom de plume I bear. Yours truly, "May 29.
