<DIV>Hello Marianna,</DIV>
<DIV> I’m embarrassed to say that I can’t find my copy of ‘The
Directory’ and I don’t have your mailing address to send the <EM>Solitary
Office</EM> to. Please forward your address to my personal email.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My cost for the printing of the book is 7$ a copy plus postage. If I
average postal costs at book rate of 3$ it would come to 10$ per book.
<U>If you are inclined</U> to do so you may reimburse that amount to me at 8645
Butte St., La Mesa, CA 91941. Otherwise accept it in the spirit of the
season.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let me know your response to the Book and its presentation. I have
printed up a limited number of books. Your remarks might interest other
colleagues and I could print more if needed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the introductory pages I have attempted to avoid jargon and broaden the
appeal for interested, non-movement users. A note about the Annual
Propers: I don’t remember the origin of these selections or who might have
participated in their use. I do remember coming across them when I
was</DIV>
<DIV>co-prior of the Perth WA religious house in about 1971 –72. I copied
them by hand and that is what you find in the current book. Being an
engineer, I have speculated whether someone used a ‘random number generator’ or
perhaps, just threw a pair of dice to arrive at 365 daily combinations.
What is the algorithm? Does anyone know where they came from? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your interest,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
