Letter from Mark Twain to Jane Lampton Clemens ; Aug. 31 (1853).
About appalled by the “mass of human vermin”, including niggers, mulattoes, quadroons, Chinese, to wade through this mass of human vermin, would raise the ire of the most patient person that ever lived.
Mark Twain probably met Chinese immigrants for the first time during his first trip to New York.

Anson Burlingame gave a speech in New York ; June 23 (1968).
"I desire that the autonomy of China may be preserved ; that her independence may be maintained ; that she may have equality, and that she may dispense equal privileges to all the nations."
1872-1875 Joseph Hopkins Twichell helped and sponsored the project 'Chinese Educational Mission', proposed by Rong Hong and approved by Li Hongzhang.
1874
Joseph Hopkins Twichell reported that ninety Chinese boys had already been sent to the New England states : "Here the boys are, and the Church of Christ is called upon to regard them with tender…
Joseph Hopkins Twichell reported that ninety Chinese boys had already been sent to the New England states : "Here the boys are, and the Church of Christ is called upon to regard them with tender interest, to pray for them, and to watch them with real solicitude."

Mark Twain : Interview with South Australian Register. (1895).
"I was never disposed to make fun of the Chinaman ; I always looked upon him as a pathetic object ; a poor, hardworking, industrious, friendless heathen, far from home, amongst a strange people, who treated him none too well. He has a hard life, and is always busy and always sober, therefore I never could see anything to make fun of in the Chinaman. No, he is not wanted in America. The feeling is that he ought to go, but America is a place for all people, it seems."

Letter from Mark Twain to Joseph Hopkins Twichell ; Aug. 12 (1900).
[About missionary activities in China].
"My sympathies are with the Chinese. They have been villainously dealt with by the sceptered thieves of Europe, and I hope they will drive all the foreigners out and keep them out for good."

Letter from Mark Twain to Joseph Hopkins Twichell ; June (1901).
"Whenever you ask people to support [foreign missions], Joe, do bar China. Their presence there is forbidden by the Bible, & by every sentiment of humanity & fair-dealing ; & they have done vast mischief there."

Yung, Wing [Rong, Hong]. My life in China and America [ID D7870].
The breaking of the 'Chinese Educational Commission' and the young students in 1881 was not brought about without a strenuous effort on the part of some thoughtful men… who came forward in their quiet and modest ways to enter a protest against the revocation of the Mission. Chief among them were my life-long friend, the Rev. J.H. Twichell, and Rev. John W. Lane, through whose persistent efforts Presidents Porter and Seelye, Samuel Clemens [Mark Twain], T.F. Frelinghuysen, John Russell Young and others were enlisted and brought forward to stay the work of retrogression of the part of the Chinese.
