Dear Meg,
       I was asked to get the list out of Michelle who apparently has
been putting it together for some time. She wrote me early in this
week and said I can send it to you for a mail merge but it won't be
ready until Monday Dec. 4. I wrote back and asked whether she could
let us know the number on the list so we could buy the right amount of
stamps and envelopes and that was when she asked me the two questions
- yesterday.
       If there are people on the IMC list who live in Indiana or
Minnesota, I presume that they are on there because they contributed
to the IMC in some way, so if they have money, they might be
interested in contributing to our project from wherever they are.
       P.S. There is an address stamp at the jail in the jail box. Who
is going on Friday to the jail and could bring it back to us? Barbara
