[ih] internet-history Digest, Vol 17, Issue 1

[Jake Feinler]

Hi Bob,

I will take a look and see if I can unearth the documents you are  
looking for - no promises!  It will be a few days before I can get  
down to the museum again as I will be on a short vaccation up to  
Tomales Bay, back next week.  I'll get back to you.

Cheers,

Jake
