    It has been said that when Mark Twain was in San Francisco
    with Ambrose Bierce, he sometimes sought Bierce's
    editorial advice.

      After reading The Devil's Dictionary, I can believe that statement
      but they were both in San Francisco with BRET HARTE,
      about whom Twain said Mr. Harte was editorially
      invaluable to his writing style.

      The quote can be found on a site called "Quizlet"

      -Oliverio
