Eh Hem: What?

[L Verge]

Dear Ms. Verge,

Thank you for your substantive response to Josh Hager’s blog post regarding a photograph he found while working in the Rubenstein Library. That post should not have been published on the Library’s blog as written. We should have returned the draft to Josh and helped him locate appropriate sources to test his claim. I feel badly for him that we did not do so.

In the interest of accuracy, we have taken the post down and replaced it with another acknowledging our error and setting the record straight. You can read it at http://blogs.library.duke.edu/rubenstein...es-booth/.

With best regards

I especially enjoyed a P.S. that she made: "Alex, I'll take Mea Culpa for $1000!"

My response to her: Thank you so much for understanding and being professional in your method of handling the situation. It is greatly appreciated by those of us in the Lincoln field.

Just an FYI: You might enjoy visiting our museum’s website at http://www.surrattmuseum.org. Have a good evening.
