Yet those who have not studied German will gain nothing from being able to read it
But I agree in that you should consider twice whether or not to blackletter it. In other of your Twain books German fragments are not in blackletter, although they are part of the main text too (and sometimes what the text it about). This may be because the original was typeset like that, or a conscious style change to adapt to the new times, or simply because the ASCII text from PG have no blackletter at all.
