NUMISMATIST LETTERS TO EDITOR SOUGHT

  Gregg Silvis writes: "A question for the E-Sylum collective:
  I need assistance in confirming two citations from The
  Numismatist.  In a letter to the editor of The Numismatist,
  Commodore W.C. Eaton responded to the question, "When,
  where and why did you start to collect coins?"  Eaton's
  letter is dated November 5, 1921.  Unfortunately, it would
  seem that these early letters to the editor are not indexed in
  the Numismatic Index of Periodicals.  I need:

  1) The citation for Eaton's letter to the editor, which would
       have appeared after November 5, 1921.

  2) The citation in which the editor posed the question, "When,
      where and why did you start to collect coins?," which
      would have appeared prior to November 5, 1921.

  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and acknowledged
  in my forthcoming Penny-Wise article on William Colgate Eaton,
  Frederick Reed Alvord, and Dr. Wallace S. Bardeen.  I can be
  contacted at gregg at udel.edu.  Thanks!"
