1 Possibly Charles Artemas King (1851–1917), who lived in Binghamton, New York, as a young man and later worked in the New York City Customs Department. It is somewhat more certain that Clemens’s correspondent was at least the C. A. King who compiled “Mark Twain: Excerpts from Magazines,” a collection of photographs of Mark Twain and clippings of articles by and about him, now in the Alderman Library at the University of Virginia (“Charles A. King,” “Died,” New York Times, 25 July 1917, 11; NUC, 296:290).
