LIBRARY OF CONGRESS ASSISTANCE SOUGHT

  Bob Lyall writes: "I may be being presumptuous, and would
  quite understand if I am, but I have a request.  There is a
  19th-century Central American trade directory in the Library
  of Congress in Washington, DC.   I am trying to trace an
  American company that issued tokens to see if the tokens
  were for use in British Honduras or in Honduras.  I have
  managed to check quite a few directories in England and
  America but have failed to find another copy of the one in
  the Library of Congress.

  I wrote them three months ago quoting the full reference and
  asking if someone might be able to check specific data for me
  but have had no reply.   My cheeky question is, "is there any
  resident of Washington, DC who uses the Library of Congress
  who would check a specific question in a specific directory if
  I supply them with its reference, please?  As a UK resident,
  there are some problems with going personally but will cover
  reasonable expenses if advised beforehand."
