&#13;
Mr. Ted Owens  &#13;
209 76th Street  &#13;
Virginia Beach, Virginia&#13;
&#13;
Dear Mr. Owens:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you very much for your letter of April 8th and your comments regarding your present activities. I am interested in your work and I would be pleased if, someday, I have the opportunity of investigating your abilities and powers.&#13;
&#13;
Yes, I have heard of Otto Binder, and I am very much interested in his writings. I have some of his books regarding UFO phenomena. I will look forward to reading his article in SAGA concerning his work with you.&#13;
&#13;
I have now received and read your book, "How to Contact Space People." I have ordered a copy of your other book, and I look forward to reading it when I have received it. I find your experiences to be most interesting and I can see that you wish to provide other people with information, not only to back up your claims, but also to encourage the interested person to try similar methods. At this point, I can neither accept nor reject the proof of your claims, but I can say that I am interested in learning more about the methods by which you communicate with the space people. I certainly am prepared to believe the possibility that the proof is sufficient of your ability to communicate and to cooperate with space people. Perhaps, there may come a time when financial support will be provided for those persons who wish to investigate the possible relationships of ESP, hypnosis, and UFO phenomena. I certainly am interested in these investigations and will be pleased to continue correspondence with you.&#13;
&#13;
Best wishes to you in your work and your attempts to provide evidence for interested persons.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely,&#13;
&#13;
R. Leo Sprinkle, Ph.D.  &#13;
