http://www.hiddeneurope.co.uk/article_info.php?articles_id=244
so please do follow up as soon as possible with the
balance of the report if you can

in the meantime these excerpts from our recent ongoing
& perhaps even simultaneous quest for your great
english quadripoint may interest you as well as
explain my excitement over seeing it evidently
referred to in your article

our calls for help
