Letter from Linda Brammer of the Cecil County Public Library, Elkton: the 1973 issues of the Upper Shoreman do not contain Genevieve Cockey's story, which Anne Wilcox thought was in the Kent Shoreman.

The Cecil County Public Library has a back file of the publication Upper Shoreman. The articles in this publication are mostly non-fiction essays on historical topics of local interest. There being no index or even a table of contents for the Upper Shoreman, I did page through the July 1973 issue and all of the other issues for 1973 and did not find the article by Mrs. Cockey entitled "The Dark Moon."

I spoke to Mrs. Wilcox and she felt that the article was probably published in the Kent Shoreman. Unfortunately, we do not own that publication at all.

I am sorry that I was not able to help you further.

Sincerely, [signed] Linda Brammer Linda Brammer, Assistant Administrator LB/act 135 East Main Street, Elkton, MD 21921. 301-398-0914. Gary T. Vaughan, Administrator
