It's 25 cents for a copy off the microfilm they have there and they always do it for you anyway. So I would send the request to them, they will be glad to get it for since you have all the info for it, along with the money and a self address stamped envelope for it. I have been a few times when I get to come home for a visit and when I have a lot of things I want, I just make a list and leave it along with payment for the copies and an evelope with postage to mail to me. They are very helpful in there. Andrea Hungtington Public Library 200 W. Market Street Huntington, IN 46750 260-356-0824 http://www.huntingtonpub.lib.in.us/
