[COMPLETE] MARK TWAIN'S TRAVEL LETTERS FROM 1891-92 - tg
So we stay on the same page, so to speak, let's confirm which text you are using. For instance, your first recording differs from the newspaper pdf in the very first sentence.

Thanks Kevin!
I'm finding it VERY hard to use the PDF's I downloaded!!!
BUT
please let me know the words that I used that DIFFER from the PDF's .
I'll make the corrections to MATCH the PDF's and I will struggle through by ONLY using the PDF's, from now on... and checking with other versions when I can't read the PDF's.
I found it interesting that the editors of each of the newspapers made small changes in wording occasionally!

Well, this is a bit of an extra burden, but I suspect there will be few differences. Should we not find a common text for the other five readings, I will have to bow out, but it sounds like you're willing to work things out.johng wrote: ↑October 24th, 2019, 2:06 pm Thanks Kevin!

To be honest, the PDFs are hard for me, too. Further, I don't understand why you don't use the other options available. I thought the newspaper originals would be best, but now I see the quality of the scans! Haha!

Well, I'm listening for every word, so it's a bit hard. A standard reading, with one of two exceptions, would likely be approved. Are you certain you want word perfect?
I can give you the results of what I've found so far.
Your reading, by the way, is quite enjoyable.

We can also do a special reading where I list only the differences that make a real change in meaning. That I don't mind at all.
And I don't mind word perfect for an author I respect like Twain. We just need the same text.

You know...you've convinced me!!
This is the first MT project I've done which has so many different versions...different in very small ways....and mostly, I think, unimportant...
SO
let's go with the meaning in tact....and please let me know if there are mistakes that take away from accurate meaning/intention, etc.
Thanks so much for your willingness to work this out

That's great! I'll get to it as soon as I can, but my vision problem is hampering me a bit. I'll have the whole weekend, though, to work on it.

Section 1 notes:
Times are approximate
1:30 'returned' not refunded (I leave this one for you to decide.)
32:35 'patentable' rather than potentable (?)
36:06 'hills' not halls
Great reading!

Section 2 notes:
Times are approximate.
The first issue might be one of the title you use. The text you cite is "At the Shrine of St. Wagner."
0:25 'rolling' not pulling
4:35 'grand and lonely' and not lovely
15:10 'and in some of the other operas' Your recording omits 'the other.'
EDIT: I mean to say, for the last note: You omit 'of the other.'
