Dear Mr. Scott,
The missing folios were scanned in May and should be loaded any day now.
The manuscript has not undergone any conservation work, but it can be
viewed in the Reading Room when you visit.
Sincerely,

Dear Ellen Cordes,
I hope that all is well with you and your work at the Beinecke. It has
certainly been an exciting year for the Voynich online discussion group
(<http://www.voynich.net>www.voynich.net) to have access to the wonderful
color scans of MS408. Has the manuscript undergone conservation
treatment? Will the folios that were not previously scanned be included
in the online digital collection? I am also interested in knowing if the
manuscript has been subjected to a detailed scientific analysis? I am
planning on arriving at the Beinecke Library at the end of August for the
express purpose of viewing the Voynich Manuscript. Please let me know if
this time frame will be acceptable? I thank you for your assistance.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Dana Scott
Tucson, Arizona
