RE: VMs: A suggestion for Dana's Yale visit.

["Karl Kluge" <kckluge@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dana,

Having had the good fortune to examine the Mss in person several years 
back, plan for a detailed examination of the rosette fold-out to take
several hours. Just doing a manual copy of the rosette with the
castle and attached T-O map took the better part of an hour.

Hello Ernie,

Yes, the 9 rosettes and hidden items will be examined in great detail.  If 
photographs/scans are not allowed, drawings will certainly be made.  
Clarifying missing and questionable 'text' will be a primary goal.



Regards,
Dana Scott
