Dear Deborah,

Thanks so much for following up on this! Sorry to hear about your
computer problems. You have my sympathy and empathy, as this was my
year for computer problems as well.

I do appreciate the information on this Elizabeth Britton, which I
have now filed away among my
Brittains/Brittons-still-to-be-sorted-out folks.

Thanks again,
Ruth
