Joseph Twichell was Mark Twain's pastor throughout his entire life. His correspondence with Twain comprises some of the most poignant pastoral letters ever written for he, as Twain confesses, possessed a pen "that healed." Such is the ministry of pastoral letters in the tradition begun by the Apostle Paul and continued from those earliest days of antiquity to our modern, and some might say, post-modern, even, post-Christian times.
