CLARA CLEMENS

An ancestor (Jeoffrey Clement), was ambassador to Spain under Charles I., married a Spanish wife and introduced a strain of Spanish blood into the Clemens stock, which shows up now and then in a descendant yet. (Clara is an instance.)
- Samuel Langhorne Clemens (autobiographical manuscript written in March 1899, privately printed in 1916)
