Theos-Talk Archives (January 1998 Message tt00120)

An email correspondent from NY state
wrote yesterday telling that she
heard Dr Gommes had copies of W Judge's
letters from the Indian archives?

Can Jerry or someone confirm this?
Will they be published?

2 months ago Jerry wrote that Dr
Gommes had told him what these
letters contained.  Can Dr
Gommes or Jerry give an
overview of what was in these
Judge letters?
