Lucky,

In cleaning up my emails, I came across this, which I had marked as 
important.  Would you be interested (i.e., have time...) in writing up a 
short piece on Henry Converse for the Winter Pomona?  Actually, between 
what you wrote in this email and one other one, there's almost enough.

Let me know.

Thanks.

Jackie Kuehn
