Archivist finds 1794 document in Eisenhower papers ABILENE, Kan. — A document written by a federal judge in 1794 has caused a stir among historians, not for what it says, but for where it was discovered: in President Dwight Eisenhower's archives in the middle of Kansas. The document, signed by Judge Richard Peters, was found by archivist Valoise Armstrong at the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene in July. She was going through boxes of letters to Eisenhower that are being opened to the public. The yellowed half-sheet of parchment paper with browned ink stood out among the other bright, crisp letters sent to the White House. http://bit.ly/dwTELs -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers Contact the list owner for assistance at [log in to unmask] For information about joining, leaving and suspending mail (eg during a holiday) see the list website at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=archives-nra
