12 Nov 1946 - mxs 5788 and 5789.  So, what are 5775 thru 5787 and 5790?

The MGM Books show many Musicraft masters (see Volume 1, Leased and Purchased 
Masters) but only 5789 from that session. And it's shown as November 10/46, not 
November 12.

I don't know from where Lord got the recording date and there's likely no source reference in the MGM Books, so it's impossible to determine which date - 10 or 12 Nov 1946 - is correct unless we can turn up the recording session sheet or find some other first hand source such as a musician's date book.  The Gillespie session pages were not among those that I saw.

Too, my log shows session number 141 - Teddy Wilson - 19 Nov 1946 - mxs 5810 thru 5812, but the number 5810 is written in pencil, whereas almost all other markings in my log are in pen.  I'm not sure why that is unless the cover sheet and one or more other sheets were missing.  Lord indicates that the session for this date had mxs 5809 thru 5812, so likely indication is that I had in my possession at the time only the sheets for the last three mxs numbers and was unaware that mx 5809 was also from that session.
