          Ms. Janiewski did not list her email address in her query,
          so I am sending this to her by way of H-Law.

          I am afraid I have no special leads on Phillips, but I have
          certainly run into him when researching Reconstruction
          history.  I wonder what Ms. Janiewski is
          researching--Phillips himself, nineteenth-century race law
          or other law, Reconstruction?
