April 29, 1970&#13;
&#13;
Dear Leo:&#13;
&#13;
I wrote you yesterday...but now can write you in a different vein.&#13;
&#13;
We leased our house here for a limited time...and in a few weeks we must move. I have no deeply-rooted job here at all. Just a temporary thing I picked up.&#13;
&#13;
Here is what I suggest.&#13;
&#13;
I would like to come to Laramie; rent a small, inexpensive apartment or house; get a job there...and live there with my wife and 7-year-old child.&#13;
&#13;
Then you could test me to your heart's content...my regular ESP abilities (PK demonstrations, etc.)...my ability with hypnosis and autohypnosis...but most of all, my ability to communicate with the UFO intelligences and PRODUCE PHENOMENA FOR YOU.&#13;
&#13;
I could show you how to control weather and end droughts, wherever you might designate; how to control and guide hurricanes...and on and on through dozens of major phenomena. Which I have already done and documented, I might add.&#13;
&#13;
But you would have it all right there...where you could observe, test, and so forth.&#13;
&#13;
Of course, this would be priceless for you.&#13;
&#13;
What I would need, within the next week, would be $500 from you...to buy an old used car, and make the move. That would be enough to also find a place there and get started.&#13;
&#13;
I know professors do not have that much money on hand...but professors sometimes know people who do have it, who will provide it, if the situation warrants it.&#13;
&#13;
But time is of the essence, since I have to decide what I am going to do next. If you would like this to happen, send the money as soon as possible...and we will be in Laramie shortly.&#13;
