In case it was unclear to anyone, Thomas Karshan's plea concerned
the partial Tragedy of Mr. Morn manuscript announced by
Sarah Funke the other day. I'm sure his plea excludes Nabokovians
who might wish to acquire the ms. and (almost) immediately donate it
to one of the primary archives! ~SB

Dear Nabokovians,
I have already passed this on to the Berg Collection and
am hoping they will obtain it. I hope everyone will agree with me that
this important manuscript should not end up in private hands but be
collected where it belongs, in an archive where it can be consulted by
scholars - the Berg would be ideal as the other materials are there, or
the Library of Congress. I would hope no Nabokovians would bid privately
for this.
