    "ocrText": "-15-\ncontinue his investigation and when he is finished to tell us all\nhow it came out. The bum that wrote this article makes the same\ndamn mistake all of thése capons make when he says that your inves-\ntigation fascinates him (rather feminine reaction) but that he did\nnot read enoughtevidence in the newspapers to convince him that, as\njudge, gury and defense attorney, he should convict the defendant.\nAt least the Goon has the direction now and if idiots like this one\ncan find it, it should follow that the rest of the press has a chance\nto find it.\n14) There is a book on the paperback stand in Dallas which I\nhad not seen prior to my trip there which tells the story in a fiction\nform but probably comes closer than much of the non-fiction about the\ncase. \"The Trumpets of November\" \"The Militants' (double titled)\nis written by Wesley S. Thurston (his life is sort of on the rocks I\nshould think if he plans to reside in Texas). I won't bother you with\nreading it - I will do that first and tell you what is important about\nit but I will quote what it says on the cover.\nThis is fiction. But the fantastic events of that terror-\nridden day in November when our beloved President was murdered were the\nfulfillment of THE MILITANTS' satanic plot and could have been\nsumed by hateaand strange lusts, the conspirators of THE TRUMPETS OF\nNOVEMBER head for a street in Dallas. \"BACK OVER: \"TOO FANTASTIO? A\nretired American general masterminds a plot for the violent take-over\nof the U.S. President John F. Kennedy heads the list of those to be\nmurdered. A top reporter has the facts in hand but cannot stop the\nevents of NOVEMBER 22, 1963. Addaring departure from conventionali\nfiction, THE TRUMPETS OF NOVEMBER projects what is known - and not yet\nknown - about Kennedy's assassination into a novel of treachery, terror-\nism and psycho-sexuality no more incredible than the daily headlines. \"\nIn conjunction withtthe totally incredible, but very true,\nchronology and analysis by Joachim Joesten in his case against you know\nwho, I feel that this book has something to say. Just the cover is enough\nto let people have a bit of the shock. Joesten is truly a genius when\nit comes to incite in this case.\nI am contacting that lawyer in L.A. to continue with our\ninvestigation of that thing. We will be subtle and make sure not to\nlet the slightest hint of our objective slip. I will not even tell him\nwhat he is looking for exactly, just to hunt for evidence of Shaw.\nWould you do me a favor on the lines of the draftboard\nletter? I need a copy of the letter so that I can give it to my lawyer.\nHe will then tell me what to do to get reclassified but I do need the\ncopy as soon as it would be possible to send it.\nI will send photos as I make them and I will show what\nwe have developed to the \"Ntonion\" who is interested as you well know.\nMaybe he will be motivated to help with the film.\nI hope yourame feeling better but I think you will have to\nget rid of your cold here. Can you let me know the date you plan to come\nby some secret way? I will then make whatever plans you require and you\nwill be able to use the house whenever you like from now one You are"
