Here is a complete, genuine historic old newspaper with the following title, date and description: NEW-YORK TIMES, November 29, 1874

* Mark Twain
* Sociable Jimmy


On page 7 at the top of the first column is: "Sociable Jimmy. by Mark Twain." The text of this humorous item is prefaced by remarks from Twain explaining how and why he wrote "Sociable Jimmy".

First & second leaf have archival mends to tears at the bottom, issue is browned and a bit pulpish at the edges causing some chipping & flaking.
