Subject: Fw: 1927 Canvas Map of CA

The following was received through Roadmaps-L.  I would like to be included
in any replies to Mr. Armour as the Jo Mora maps are of great interest to
several people with whom I have contact.

I checked Lib. of Congress and UC Berkely catalogues without any success and
don't have access to WorldCat from home.
