From Howellsian editor Paul Petrie:
This issue marks the first time that the Society is distributing the newsletter electronically rather than via print and mail. The issue is in PDF format, and should be easily readable on any reasonably current computer, and printable on standard 8 ½ X 11 paper .
This issue has been mailed to all Society members whose email addresses we know. Please help us spread the word among Howellsians that the Society’s email distribution list is seriously incomplete. Society members who have not received this email should send an updated email address to the Society’s secretary-treasurer, Prof. Mischa Renfroe, at Mischa.Renfroe@mtsu.edu to update their contact information.
