Dear Mr. Malleck:  When Colleen Viana contacted me about her need for 
someone familiar with the Los Angeles area I told her that I was familiar 
with the British nineteenth century temperance movement and suggested that 
she contact the whole Alcohol and Drugs History Society to see in any of the 
members/friends could help her.  I did not suggest David Fahey because I 
knew he mostly researched the British and then the Midwest American 
temperance fields. I had not heard that he was involved in the Los 
Angeles/California temperance movement.  I did think Miss Viana's request 
should go to the whole Society as there is sure to be someone who is 
familiar with the California field among the members or their colleagues.

Dear colleagues.
Sorry about that.  This probably didn't need to go to everyone (though
my unquestioning faith in David Fahey is not something to hide).  My
apologies; I thought this had just come to me.  My bad, as they say.
