I am reasonably certain that I remember that Davis had his papers deposited at the library of Randolph-Macon College, convenient to Jon but not to Kevin.

Merry Christmas.

Henson of Michigan State University was studying Bland's library and had "gathered all he could about the books in the Colonel's library" -- and that Henson had sent Davis some 80 pages of photocopies of information about these titles (ibid., 1011 n 120). Does anyone know where Henson's findings might be consulted? Thank you and a joyous holiday season to all.
