MDDM Ch. 17 The Jenkin's Ear Museum

[Dave Monroe]

Thanks again.  John Bailey mentioned that site some
time back, which was a head-slapping moment for me, as
I'd actually been xeroxing off library copies of all
these old documents.  Then big chunks of my research
went missing, and I knew I'd in the meantime run
across something somewhere.  Ditto the Samuel Johnson
stuff.  I suspect there are sources to be found for
nigh unto everything in M&D (and then some), but ...
but having run across that Ear again, figured, might
as well slap it up.  Thnaks again again ...
