  some seem to think it was Kipling or Churchill.

  Google this: "Sorry for the long letter. I didn't have time to write a short one."

  That seems to be the exact quote.

    Here's how it went, they say:
    Telegram from Twain's publisher:
    
    Need 2 page short story 2 days

    Twain's reply:

    No can do 2 pages 2 days
    Can do 30 pages 2 days
    Need 30 days to do 2 pages

    Regards
