Witty and desirable AQS on an off-white 4.5 x 3.25 sheet. Clemens writes: “The principal difference between a cat & a lie is, that a cat has only nine lives. Truly yours, Mark Twain.” A central vertical fold through a single letter of signature, and mild toning over quote and signature, otherwise fine condition. The famous quotation gracing this sheet is derived from his novel, The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson, written in 1893 and sold to Century Magazine. A characteristically wry observation and one of the more oft quoted of Twain's witticisms.
