Letter from Mark Twain to Jane Lampton Clemens ; Aug. 31 (1853).
About appalled by the “mass of human vermin”, including niggers, mulattoes, quadroons, Chinese, to wade through this mass of human vermin, would raise the ire of the most patient person that ever lived.
Mark Twain probably met Chinese immigrants for the first time during his first trip to New York.
