Mr. Brown was Twain's traveling companion during his trip to Hawaii. He looked over Twain's shoulder and commented that the negative aspects of the island were not being adequately described in Twain's letters. In response, Twain categorized the heat and insects as minor, and not worth mentioning or writing about.
