Just before my computer crashed (the week before Christmas, hard drive
failed!) I had sent an e-mail to the State Archives regarding the fees,
since I had a date and place. Since I've lost everything since my last
backup, I don't have their reply, but if I recall correctly, since I had the
date etc. I would only pay the smaller copy fee, not the larger research
fee. Sure wish I had that e-mail now.

Here in Cincinnati crossing my fingers that my old hard drive can be copied
by a professor at a local college this week!
