[78-L] missing Ge ledger pages

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Thanks, Mike. But I reiterate, can I get copies of Blacker's sheets for 
mxes 11000 - 14460 if you have them. They sure would come in handy and 
you'll get a dandy "thank you," too!
Hope that what you were in the hospital for was not serious. Ain't none 
of us getting any younger.
