I have been working this morning with Jane Gastineau from the Allen County Public Library regarding Warren's papers, and she is going to do a quick search of the correspondence files to see what material on Sandburg might be there. She did this not at my behest, but on her own volition. Of course, I don't expect her to do my research work for me, but I just had to mention her kindness to my fellow forum members, because I've had experiences that certainly weren't as nice with some librarians. She also advised me that they are in the process of digitizing 20 filing cabinets full of vertical file material on Lincoln (which is where I think the Lincoln Kinsman files came from) and that she would jump the Sandburg files to the front of the line so that I may have access to them in a couple of months.

That, my friends, is a true professional.

Just a little more of that "Hoosier hospitality." I am glad to hear this is working out well for you. It is also wonderful to learn that they are digitizing the vertical file material. That will be a blessing to many of us! Thanks for the update Rob.
