You found Samuel Clemens!

Congratulations! You found and clicked on a Samuel Clemens / Mark Twain stamp issued by the United States Post Office in 1940. Or perhaps you found your way here by other, more scrupulous means.

Through your heroic actions, you’re now eligible to redeem your very own “Samuel Clemens Prize for American Humor” by sending a postcard, note, or letter to my address: just reference “SAMUEL CLEMENS PRIZE” in your correspondence.

If you are not in possession of my address (made available to all Members in Good Standing) and wish to redeem your Prize, send me a note with your mailing address* to nick@sometimesweekly.com with the subject line, “I Found Samuel Clemens!”

The “Samuel Clemens Prize for American Humor” was created in June 2025.

So far ZERO people have claimed the prize.

Cheers! 🍻

Dr. Nick Butler, S.W.P.C.
