Answer 2

Hi mate,

here's your answer

It is about a letter Mark Twain has received from a woman writer, who asked him to recommend her work to the publisher because her uncle and Twain used to know each other. She hoped that by Twain’s influence in the literary world, her work could get the attention from the publisher.

Instead of replying her letter by a straight-to-the-point refusal, Twain imagined the conversation he would have with the publisher and put it in the letter. The conversation was lively and interesting, but its aim was not to amuse, but to inspire. He wanted the woman to believe that ability, but not influence played a more crucial world in writers’ world.

This quote is Twain’s reply to the publisher’s question about why he said he knew the woman’s uncle, but could not remember him.
