Thanks. Yes I did hear that from JHE, who has photographs of them. When my
current bandwidth permits, I'll take another look at Mahatma letters ... If
I ever finish my dissertation on dreams. Sigh.

It's interesting that they would show the Mahatma letters. I hear the British
Museum is absolutely fascinating. A friend was there and said his glance
happened to fall on a little rock in a corner exhibit with a little card next
to it. Walking up for closer examination, he found the card said, "Rosetta
stone". Typical British understatement!  In America it would be sponsored by
Coca-Cola in neon signs with Rosetta stone t-shirts for sale next to it.
