Keep the faith. You can do it better. As my old colleague Harry Swain
said when the same thing happened to me years ago. Footnote 'em. Be
advised.

John:
Glad to hear from you. We hadn't seen Ralph in a bit and glad to
hear that he is recovering.
Still doing the GW research. I met with both the Papers of George
Washington Project at UVA and Mount Vernon a few months ago and both
were very interested. The GW Papers at UVA are publishing some 90
volumes of GWs correspondence and they even offered to do one
complete volume on the maps. Of course, they have to raise money
and who knows how long that will take so there is no signed contract.
I am not too keen on approaching the LC Publishing office as they
have a nasty habit of hiring outsiders to write books about LC
collectons. (The recent book "Cartographia" was essentially
conceived and virtually all the content was written by Ron Grim but
the Publishing Office hired an outsider whose name wound up on the
book.)
As you have heard, someone recently "stole" my idea for the GW book.
The publication, due out this fall, is "GW: A Biography through
maps" and it is the case of a popular writer writing something that
will "sell". The book attemts to tell GW's biography through a
collection of printed maps (now at Yale) that GW had in his
library. These maps are all commonly available amall scale printed
maps (Lewis Evans, Faden, Moll, etc.) and LC probably has have
multiple editions and copies of each.
I guess I sound rather bitter but in the end, he got his hook
published and I am still talking about it. I have reviewed portions
of it and I am sure it will be a fine publication but I am still
miffed that someone beat me to the punch.
Hope you are enjoying what is left of summer.
Ed

Ed: How is the research on George Washington going. I saw reference
to a work on the maps the other day. Thought you were going tp
continue work on this theme.
Still trying to complete the Speiden book with David Ranzan, U
archivist here ib Salisbury. Hope to have it with the publisher
around Thanksgiving time. Health ok so far but can only work on
research and writing a few hours each day. Talked to Ralph today. He
is recovering from a hernia operation( double). but seems in good
spirits, All best wishes.

I bet Magellan had something to do with it.
