My volunteer, whose family diary will go to a proper repository in Michigan, the home state of the diarist one day, sends her gracious thanks to all of you who responded. In her words: I have copied all the responses and ordered the other suggested book. Really gave me just the information I needed and the reasons as well which helps a lot. I told her we would get a fast response and I thank you for proving me right. My best to all. Suzanne S.
