Re: VMs: dB request: was: transcriptions and shorthand notes

["GC" <gc-@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Knox,

Happy to be of assistance, but once again I have erred.  Two files were
omitted from the list because I downloaded them separately.  one is
1013391.sid , which is a redundant image of the front cover.  The second is
more important, f88r, 1037112.sid.  Sorry you're going to have to go to
Beinecke and download these manually.
