John, Hope to see you tomorrow. I plan to come along with a friend,
Hubert Horan, who has an extensive collection of Civil War books (many
signed) that he (the last time I talked with him) doesn't know what to
do with. Anyway, Hubert and I both will bring copies of Trudeau's
previous books for him to autograph, unless you (and/or he) have
objections -- probably six books in all, not including the Gettysburg
book, which we will buy tomorrow. Will
