Hello Jeremy!

Thank you too for responding to my latest eMail concerning Slothrop’s plausible birthday and involving yourself in my discussion, search, quest or whatever we’d like to call it - establishing a plausible birth date for TS.

Now I am not 100% sure if I have the eMails in order, or if I am mixing up the chronology of your mail and one from Paul Mackin (both came in around the same time, but from different time zones and I do not posses an OnLine computer where I am residing at the moment). If I should be confusing you with Paul, do excuse me. But read the eMail I sent him (just a few minutes ago) which should clear up the religious upbringing question of TS, a Congregational according to GR p.26-7.

And as I stated in that eMail, just how "Puritan" a Congregationalist is is an open question for others than me answer. It was an astrological matter of corresponding a 12th House double Virgo with certain puritan traits, no matter how minute. Finally this is only one of the aspects, but a major one: This World / Other Worlds, Heaven / Hell, (S)Elect /
Preterite all fitting well into the picture - believe me, I am not making this up....

Thanks again, and would appreciate any or all clues concerning the Nativity of TS...

Douglas
