Is this citation OK?

Question

In the biography for my cousin, [[Poole-7374|Eileen Poole]], I have quoted from an email she sent me a number of  months before her death. I tried to make a proper EE citation and came up with the following...

Eileen Poole, Richmond Hill, Queens, New York to Charlie Poole, e-mail, 22 February 2007, "Re: Coming to NY," privately held by Charlie Poole, Port Townsend, Washington, USA.

It seems a bit long to me, but EE citations often do. What do folks think?

Also... if I want to publish longer excerpts from our correspondence than really fit in the bio, would a Research Note be appropriate?

Answer 1

The citation seems good to me. Giving the information matters more than the length. I have even longer citations, especially if they have multiple layers--description of the source, description of the on-line publication, description of the current location (say with a National Archives index numbers), and then perhaps that it's misindexed in the on-line publication....

A free-space page might be a good place for longer excerpts.
