I need to let the two sections go for now, unfortunately.

I'm happy to take section 2, but I notice that the Google Books version is a pretty lousy scan, cutting off the edge of the column on more than one page. Since I saw the recommendation to read from HaithiTrust in other posts, I'm assuming that's okay? Here's what I'm sure is the same version of section 2: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=njp.32101079822472&view=1up&seq=240

Also, I noticed that the Google Books scan of section 3, also unassigned, has a correction: someone has crossed out a year with pen and written in a new year! I'm not claiming that one right now (though I will if it's still available when I turn in section 2), but I thought whoever takes it should be warned and guided. Should it be read as Collier's published it, even if it's a typo?

Hello,

I will assign section 2 to you, and using HathiTrust is just fine. That date in section three was crossed out by hand, but it is also in the scan itself. I would think this should probably be fine, since looking at online encyclopedias Pulitzer did actually take charge in 1883.

Thanks

I had a hell of a January due to work and illness, then I completely forgot about this in February. Can I get an extension on my portion (Article 10) until mid-March?
