Thanks WayneTo whom it may concern,
In the MW, the 'listen' link for sections 8 and 9 both are the recording of section 9. Craig probably isn't very happy doing almost an hour of recording and not having it included.

I fixed it

Hi Winston, Thanks for this intriguing read!k5hsj wrote: ↑June 18th, 2020, 11:59 am Sue & Craig,
Happy almost first day of summer (at least in this hemisphere ). I've been listening to Daniel Stashower's The Hour of Peril - The Secret Plot to Murder Lincoln Before the Civil War, and in looking for a PD version of the tale to read for LibriVox, I discovered this piece from an unexpected source: the CIA! It's short and to the point, and if it lacks the dramatic punch of Stashower's version, it has the virtue of being a US government publication, hence, public domain.

Hi Wayne, Well, I like enthusiasm! I'm glad the prompt from your wife resulted in this story of John Q. Adams and his fight for the right to petition.Kalamareader wrote: ↑June 19th, 2020, 12:36 pm Sue,
I know I said that the earlier one was 'my contribution', but I found this one and just had to add it. I am reading "The Miracle in Philadelphia", and yesterday my wife asked if I could find anything in LV that was 'historical' to contribute. Well, I found this and just 'had' to contribute it. Even with all the U.S. history I have studied and read, I had never heard this story. It was a very important event in US history.

WikipediaAfter the beginning of the earnest agitation of Northern abolitionists against the institution of slavery in the United States in 1831, over 130,000 petitions of various kinds poured into the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate praying for the abolition or the restriction of that "peculiar institution", as it was called in the South.
Thanks, Craig!

Would you please be so kind as to attend to the edits which Craig pointed out to you [on page 7 in the thread.] which are needed on your previous contribution, Poets
Principally, you just forgot the LibriVox intro in the Poets recording. Since you read the intro in the Jesse James recording, it should be a simple matter to make a copy of it and insert it in to the reading of Poets. There is one other small edit in Poets needed. The revised recording of Poets is due by June 26, following the 2-week deadline for edits.
Thank you for your contributions to volume 075.
