Mary,

You might want to talk to Conservator of Textiles at Colonial Williamsburg, Loreen Finkelstein. 

About five or six years ago she treated George Washington's field tent for the NPS (Colonial National Park in Yorktown). Call 757-229-1000 and ask for her extention. Tell Loreen I said Hi!

Cheers!
Dave
