<br>
<br>Hi, Barry--
<br>
<br>Your cite for this from the _New York Transcript_ of 25 December,
<br>1835, is very interesting.  _Hooker_ is a word we get a lot of mail
<br>on.  Did Thompson give you more context for this cite?  Who are the
<br>characters in the dialogue?  Is it really clear that _hooker_ means
<br>"prostitute"?  If Thompson is the one I should ask about this, do you
<br>know if he has an e-mail address?
<br>
<br>Thanks for any help you can give me.
<br>
<br>I'm sending this to the list because for some reason my computer is
<br>rejecting your e-mail address.
<br>
<br>Regards,
<br>Jim Rader
