Hi fellow researchers, I have a bit of a dilemma I'm hoping some of you might help me with. I have Civil War letters and a diary of my great-great-grandfather, Dwight H. Cory, which I've transcribed and put on the internet. He served in the 6th OH Cavalry out of Greene, Trumbull County, Ohio. The letters mention many of the other citizens at the time. A museum curator in Cincinnati wrote to me and told me of someone who has letters of a brother of Dwight's. She isn't of the family line; she bought the letters at an estate sale. There are 137 letters of the same time period and she's been offered, she says, $2000 for them. The museum had asked her to lend them and I asked her to copy them but we haven't had success. Neither the museum nor I are in the position to purchase the letters. She says her potential buyer will sell them individually and doesn't want them copied. What would you do? I hate to see a potential genealogical goldmine go to waste, but I don't know any descendants on that line to inform of the problem. I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks, Wendy Miller (letters are at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lovelace/cory.htm )
