註釋6 ALsS. In these letters to Mark Twain's nephew, president of the Mark Twain Society, Housman declines to write an appreciation; returns a copy of his Last poems, "signed, with greetings to the Society"; advises Clemens against writing his biography; declines to inscribe a copy of The name and nature of poetry; declines to make a contribution to a Mark Twain centennial celebration; and, finally, graciously explains that he must decline the Society's offer of its Silver Medal "as, in the pursuance of an early resolve, I have in the course of my life already declined a considerable number of honours."
