Hello Alice (and everyone),

Thank you very much for your concern for us and our future. We are all
at work, our collection is intact and we expect to be here for the
foreseeable future.

I'll keep you posted should anything change.

p.s. Not only is our collection intact but we recently acquired the
archives of the AGS of NY for processing. Pretty exciting stuff for us
and American geography ...

Actually, I am much more worried about my _colleagues_ than policy.
However, the threat _today,_ of 1400, or is it 4000, layoffs of
Wisconsin government workers may well threaten, as I very precisely
delineated, the _American Geographical Society Library_ and the _History
of Cartography Project_.

Sometimes government policy has a direct effect on human beings and on
culture, both of which are aspects of these two organizations we are
all, or some of us, are grateful for.

In both cases, letters and donations from their colleagues, friends and
new supporters, for example, might be critical in the near future.

     Surely it would be better to leave politics out of this list.

     I am more and more concerned about our map colleagues who are State
     employees in Wisconsin. How are you all in Madison [History of
     Cartography project] and Milwaukee [AGSL]?

     Anything you need us to do -- write emails, letters, send checks, offer
     prayers, come and demonstrate, boycott cheese, send congratulatory
     messages to Gov. Walker on the fine job he is doing? How can we help?
