ACCESSING ORIGINAL MATERIAL    

  In response to last week's discussion of original source   
  material, Carl Honore writes: "The problem with researching   
  original material is that not all of us have access to the   
  repositories.  Most of what occurred in early U.S. numismatics   
  happened back in the eastern regions.  I, for example, do not   
  have the wherewithal to go visit the National Archives .   
  Neither do I have the wherewithal to go visit the Library of   
  Congress.  I must rely on the old method of getting at least   
  three sources and comparing them.  that is the best I can do .    

  If anyone can tell me how someone from the Pacific Northwest   
  can go all the way back east on a modest income please let   
  me know."
