Where Is It?

[Rob Wick]

I finally found the Bobbs-Merrill files on Barton's The Women Lincoln Loved, and it's going to take me longer than I anticipated to find more than just a few crumbs on it. One of the things I uncovered in the book's publicity materials is a statement by Barton that reads:

I have grown very weary of the companionship of these ladies, but also very fond of them. This is much more of a book than planned when I wrote it out as the expansion of a lecture in 1921.

There is also a typed layout of the book that mentions the pictures, but unfortunately it gives no date as to when it was taken. I have three folders about two inches thick from 1926, 1927, and 1928 to go through, which won't happen until some time tomorrow.

That's all for now.

Best
