Dear Colleagues and Friends:
Attached, please find a draft of my Baldwin talk for tomorrow. I do not plan to show the last four. In red, you will see slides with type or figures. That means things that eventually
we need to get although we are aware that many we may never find. Dr. Wozniak and I plan to work hard this summer to try to wrap up this paper in the summer. Below, some
messages to specific colleagues.
Dr. Papenfuse and Owen:
1. Thanks a million for all your help. We could not have been there without both of you, Dr. Stimpert (JHU Archives), Mr. Harrison (JHU Medical Archives), librarians from the WW
Presidential Library, UNAM, Oxford University, etc. If you need to use this to demonstrate the value of MSA and/or BCA, please be my guest.
a. Do you think you could help us locate the (in)famous Report to the Police Commissioner? Supposedly, it is in the Baltimore PD Archives. It is particularly important because it may
have the full testimony in the case against Captain Ward. One of our sources suggests Baldwin may have testified.
b. If time is available, could you have someone take a digital image of the volumes for 1908 police dockets showing the absence of the NW district for summer 1908 as well as the
big yearly summary for 1908. You know about this better but, to me, that is pretty suspicious...
c. Owen, could you send us a recent photo of you for the PPT? If not possible, OK :-)
2. Peter, do you know experts who may analyze type and tell us make and model of a typewriter? I wonder if the field has ever used the analytical techniques that allow us to
determine chemical identity of the original ink. Why? I would love to know who owned the typewriter in which the News report at JHU was typed? I still have a bad vibe about Phase 2
but who knows.
Thanks to all for any feedback and good vibes for tomorrow (12:30PM, EST).
Sincerely,
Jorge
