Vee, I'm with you all the way. I still have to print out the Luther Wheeler letters, I finally got them all transcribed. I am also photocopying them so people can see the original writing without having to handle the somewhat fragile letters. The paper is in remarkably good condition and the ink is not faded at all but the paper is cut where it folded on itself for 140 years so I don't think handling them would help much. I have no idea how many pages I'll have but quite a few. Ruth At 12:49 AM -0500 3/21/04, Vee L. Housman wrote: >Tonight I finally got my engines fired up and got everything set up.
