there are faint outlines in the top and bottom right of the typed letter from the british guy. the bible page fits perfectly into them when photoshopped. not sure what to do from here.

The typed letter has corners impressioned into it that match the edge of the bible page.

Here's the overlap

I don't have the tools to check, but the two pages may work like an overlay stencil. Cut out the letters that are incorrect to make holes, then lay it over and see which letters show through.

Also, I can't get the .PDFs to save. Window pops up on my browser, but they don't actually download.

It would be very helpful to have a high res version of the bible page.


These files are now up.

and the reverse layering with the typos cut out of the letter.

Letters are coming through - anyone better at reading them?

Tough to make anything out. The fact that the first typo (for 'letter') is blank worries me; the approach may be incorrect, or might need adjustment.

*edit: one typo didn't get cut out. 'Tha' in paragraph 2, line 6.

Great work ScarpeGrosse. From the lines below, I think we are on the right track.

"Somtimes you have to look below the surface, read between the lines, so to speak, to get a commom understanding. I've inserted this page from the Bible, thinking about our old talks."

Another quick post. It seems like two of the line spacings are quite a bit bigger than the others. Can you blank those out as well?

Have we figured out

Have we figured out what number we have to put into the tip box? I haven't seen anyone say any number for sure.

Thunderclap then nicely figured out the username is "howardp"

Once logged into the SRPAnet as Howard, you can then GET 764122AX (thanks thebruce) and download:
