MO PAPERS FOR SALE
It has been brought to our attention that a dealer is selling a collection
of original MO papers. Some years ago the MOA was unable to obtain them
when they went on the open market. Fortunately there are photocopies of
these papers in our collection, but for the people who wrote personal
reports for MO and the completion of the MO archive it would be better if
the originals were in our care. Dorothy has asked if anyone be willing to
buy the papers on our behalf. Please see link below.
