Is this one of the copies that were found in 2012? Or are all the copies that were discovered going to be on display?

Pretty cool.

Bob, yes, I think that's it.

What luck to be able to read something that important by the hand that wrote it. I wonder what he must have been feeling at the time of this writing? Best Always Gary
