Could you submit the first letter as well? There could be some kind of message after all.

Not here or there! Greenwich has never been so busy - to be honest will be glad to get out of here next week. WATCH this space eh? Even researchers need time off. Don't we? Howard.

FYI: e-mailed howard but got back the same "Personal incident" e-mail with the exact same wording. Discouraging so soon to when an IRL meet is supposed to be taking place :/

IDK, I'll go with 12 noon (on the 21st.)
With the sun at its highest point in the northern hemisphere, all things affected by gravity will be slightly taller, and a persons perception of the horizon will be slightly stretched, compared to the day before.

[JehosephatDostoevsky]

guessing that must mean the summer & winter solstices (i.e. june 21st, next tuesday)?

I had sent a "coded" email to Howard yesterday:

Quote:

computers Bouncing you off, Eh? Well, i'm glad you're Able to Reach us now that your Email is working. so far we are Unable to Narrow down the Clues regarding the horizons Long and the Exact location of the Green. I think we may need Some more information About this -- how do you feel about meeting a fellow associate in London? or should we continue discussing this situation In emails? hope to get a Visit from you Either way! keep in touch, posse

which, using the same code from his previous email spells out: "BEWARE UNCLE G IS ALIVE"

Got a response later on that evening:

Quote:

thank you. we will be in touch after the day of saturn. we have to investigate what you said. until then, locate exactly the right places - horizons only stretch twice a year...

I'm thinking "day of saturn" = Saturday. Horizons only stretch twice a year, though? Hmm...

What's Howard's email address again?

Throwing another church in the mix.

John Dee lived across from and is said to be buried at St Mary the Virgin Church:

Fits with the "mother to son mortality to immortality" but is about 10 miles from Greenwich.

(It has a garden (green?) complete with labyrinth)

Good morning all, woke up to 2 "cheery" email replies:

I sent the following message:

Quote:

Subject: Gerald McIntyre To Dr Geraint Clyme aka Gerald McIntyre, Please respond. I wish to speak with you concerning Howard Fair. posse

The response:

Quote:

Sir/Madam. You write of matters that do not concern you. Leave well alone. We tried to warn you about informing Howard about the transcript - this, unfortunately, has now been done. The consequences lie with you. G McIntyre.

I had also sent this email:

Quote:

Howard -- Message received & understood. Take care! We have managed to decode the message from the scanner. We have believe this message is a set of directions to lead to an important location, and the exact location is a working theory at the moment. We want to talk with you further about this if possible. The message reads: finding he with the fourth letter as his name the entrance to the green is located by the church of the same. mother to son. mortality to immortality. come when the sun shines longest at the time of horizons long. bring no metal nor coin nor key. entrance gained by calling verity! We hope to discuss this information with you soon. posse

And I got a response from what seems to be the "normal" Howard:

Quote:

Subject: Initial ideas Hi posse I tried to contact you a few times but each time i logged on the computer 'bounced' me off - these old computers are getting beyond a joke. Darn! Electronics aside - thanks for the translation - thinking the sun shining longest would be next Tuesday - but Horizons long? and the church? would like to discuss more but have a meeting with my Excellent boss now - will chat later regarding our TALKS. howard.

Message hidden in the last email:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

If you take the capital letters, they spell out HIDE THE TALKS

My guess is we need to be more careful how we send information to Howard (oops...)?

[posse]

Nope, no response. Anyone else get a response?

[JehosephatDostoevsky]

any response?

[posse]

Just tried to send an email to howardfairinthegreenSPLATgmail.com now, and got the same automated email response from Dr Geraint Clyme as before (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=850813#850813).

Anyone else have any luck?

EDIT: I'm a bonehead!! I completely missed that Dr Geraint Clyme is an anagram for
