<br>>Hi, Barry--

<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>Since even if I wanted to I can't get on the web without going through NYU's
<br>homepage, where there is an electronic staff directory, this is easy for me
<br>to answer quickly. (I only have time for quick answers this time of year.)
<br>George Thompson is the, or one of the, humanities reference librarians at
<br>NYU's main (Bobst) library. His new email (we all got changed last month) is
<br>listed as gt1[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]is.nyu.edu, his phone as 212-998-2517, and his fax as
<br>212-995-4071. He's usally there in the morning and afternoon on weekdays,
<br>but I've been too busy to get over there in the past month, so I don't know
<br>for sure if that's his current schedule. He came out of the same NYU Comp
<br>Lit dept. that I did, thought several years before me.
