ALS, in pencil, signed “S. L. Clemens,” one page, 4.25 x 7, October 12. From the Langham Hotel, Clemens writes to Dr. Fowler. In full: “We have lost your address & are uncertain what it is. Is it 107 Fleet Street? We desire to communicate.” In fine condition, with a few creases and some scattered wrinkling. Clemens was in London staying at the Langham Hotel in 1872–1873. He encountered Lorenzo Fowler's advertisement for his office on Fleet Street in that city. Lorenzo and his wife had had a successful lecture tour of England, and they had settled down in London where they had opened their phrenological office. Clemens wrote of his visit that Fowler found a spot on his skull that ‘represented the total absence of the sense of humor.’
