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.
