in harriet smith’s 2010 edition, clemens instructions are not always followed. for example, she did not insert his article about the survivors of the sunken ship in his february 20, 1906 dictation. also, she did not include in the january 12, 1906 dictation the illustrated magazine about his 70th birthday dinner. mistakes that were made are just pointed out in the book’s explanatory notes instead of being changed to be correct. she has made some changes to bad spelling and adding missing prepositions to fix the grammar. she does not correct grammar when the text would lose the spoken style. for example, she believes “. . . the world’s sympathy and compassion are with her, where it belongs” is bad grammar but does not correct it.
