In the meantime, I had not brought with me any of my HoHplB^H^oIn resources, thinking nothing would happen until the fall. so I do not feel free to dash back to North Carolina for my notes and resources, and of course the great re- search facilities at UNC's Davis Library and Duke’s Perkins Library where I can locate anything in print in the USA in a mo- ment .Attached is a preliminary script for the illustration sec- tion. It was not until coming here that the idea of adding some of his numismatic designs occurred to me. Through the captions, I can identify the sources from which my copies have come, and give reference to the sources for further study and consideration. I now have two glossy copies, one of the 1779 sixty-five dollar note and one of the 1778 sixty dollar note. I have one seal, described on the attached script, and as you see, the cap- tions explain the illustrations, becoming a 'teaching’ aspect of the biography, illustrating the artistic skills of Francis Hop- kinson, which are a controversial part of his life as a "Patriot With A Pen." Since the publication date is in November, supposedly the best selling season of the year for books (before Christmas), I should finish and send in the illustration section immediately. Through the illustration section, the acknowledgments, the note section, the bibliography, I can still make additions or changes, putting readers on the trail of relevant numismatic information. Your help is suddenly crucial for me, and will be fully ac- knowledged in all possible ways suggested in the preceding paragraph. Youra truly/ Geoirge N.
