Art,

Thanks for your response and comments. I was hoping you had some experience with these papers.

I had asked the library for cost estimates for reproductions of Lovell's military correspondence for the last several months of 1862.

The library has told me they no longer provide photo copies, and only provide microfilm reproductions.

After the sticker shock of the initial price estimate for the microfilm, I asked the library if I could review the following:

--Cards for individual items are filed in chronological and alphabetical sections of the Manuscript Catalog
--Unpublished finding aid available in repository

I asked for access to these items in order to more specifically identify the materials I needed--and thus, hopefully, lower the cost to a more reasonable level.

Haven't heard back from them as yet. I get the feeling that I may have become a nuisance with my various attempts to reduce the cost.

Frustrating.

Thanks very much for your comments.
