Re: VMs: Re: Who got Newbold's papers...?

[Nick Pelling <incoming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I've just had a second email from UPenn, saying that actually they do have 
Newbold's papers after all. I've converted their inventory listing to HTML 
and added it to my list of Voynichiana on GC's site:-
        http://www.voynichinfo.com/nickpelling/upt50_n533.html

The contents appear somewhat scrambled: I suspect they may not have been 
examined since 1928. Possibly problematic for us is the "Empty envelope: 
Bacon photos of MS examination after July 8" - still, until one of us goes 
through all the boxes properly, I guess we won't know. :-(

Note that there is also a listing for Professor Roland Grubb Kent's papers, 
which I've also asked for a listing of.

Anyone here live near UPenn?
