[DML] Re: Returned Telex/Factory Papers

["James" <james@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

I'm pleased that you got them back after all this time. I'm more happy
that we were able to get this settled between us and I will take you
up on your invitation to look you up when I get back to DC this
summer. As I boxed them up to send off to you yesterday, I glanced
through them again and hope that you'll soon make them public as you
had mentioned. To keep everyone waiting in suspense based on the
subjects below is only liable to let them down as they are all very
brief in nature, some only one or two lines of text. Holy Grail they
aren't...on any subject.

Combined with some of the other information that's out there through
the DMC Trustees Ebay auctions, etc, I think a pretty goo record could
be put together, however.

James Espey
DMC (Texas)
