Library of Congress
Guests and All,

A friend has been corresponding with the Library of Congress.

The two replies below have been received:

Quote:

What guidance can anybody give us? The friend is corresponding by email from California to the Library of Congress, seeking information. We realize it will have to be an extensive personal visit to Washington, D.C. and that the material can not be fed through a copier.

Your friend's correspondence with the LOC has the name wrong.

This wonderful lady's name is Joan Wight, not Wright (there's no " r " in her last name).

A new request to LOC which references her name correctly might yield some useful results.
