Henry,

Truly sorry for getting your name wrong. I have a life-long problem 
remembering i before e except after c.

I checked on the Schwartz book and it is too expensive for my budget. I'll 
see if I can get by with the information in the books I ordered. I am 
perhaps embarrassed to tell you that I am paying 71 cents for your book, 
used, and not more than $4 each most of the others. I had to buy one new, so 
ordered a set of alphabet blocks for a special niece for Christmas to get 
the free shipping.

I'll let you know what I think of your GW book when I read it. It is, to me, 
exciting to be able to discuss a book directly with the author. And, I am 
very much into the modern times - I want to read new explorations in 
history. I want to read analysis of the original sources in light of the 
current times. That is what I want to bring to school children, not the 
grossly over-glorified notions of the past - but the reality - tell it like 
it really was from all points of view! Slavery may have been a great 
institution in the view of those who profited from it, but theirs is not the 
only justifiable view of the institution.
