Can I have some feedback?

[Rob Wick]

Thanks, Laurie. I honestly think I could have the book written over the winter and ready for publication in the summer of 2013. The only research trips required would be to Springfield and Urbana, which I had planned to do next spring anyway. In the meanwhile, I have a couple of articles (one of which I'm already working on) in mind that, I think, would look good to a publisher.

I think in the long run, as I said, it would also enhance my chances of getting a bigger publisher for the Sandburg work, which I think still has a pretty broad appeal.

Again, thanks for the words of encouragement.

Best
Rob
