hole in page equals cave entrance?

[RealistSurrealist]

Well very very funny and amazing these are and looking something different here

[smartmart]

as always, I am short on free time so :

The hand-arm shaped hole must be relevant as a breadcrumb trail, remember RSCOM8. We should probably check any matching patterns just to be sure. The dents on both sides and top of the letter look like they were made on purpose (to match words like in rscom8).

let me know if it leads to anything!

I checked through the Moby Dick classic illustrated online and found that the last picture share too much resemblance with the hand cut-out.

Edit: I forgot to provide the whole page, sorry. Here it is. Fromhere

Re-Edit: Here what I get from overlapping the letter with that scene from Moby dick. Just for the records.

I've posted this in the revalistic thread but as it is a cross post idea....

Does anyone else think the hole and general splatter could be similar to part of an inkblot pattern like this one ?

[punxtr]

I don't.

[avr1991]

@zort, im not too sure but i did something here thinking that maybe the ink was a test too find a watermark letting M know that it really was his letter and that the inkblot was his watermark. But it doesnt fit very well so i really dont think so. here it is anyway

[simplicityjones]

I see it

[Melodyman]

Does this say them or thena?

Melodyman;

I recall when this first came out and we were trying to figure out what that word was, it didn't really look like "then" or "them."

Turn the image about 30 degrees to the left and it looks to me like the letter "Z" over the numeral "7."

Whether it is or not, I agree with it not looking like the letter "m."

[Melodyman]

Thanx Xeno.. It seems a bit odd that the author of the letter would have to tell TROGL and the rest to use the breadcrumbs he has left when that would seem obvious, no? Its probably nothing but the way its written could be cryptic like the rest of that letter seems to be.
Oh well, we keep searching for anything that can help us move this ARG snail along..

[r.m]

Here's another odd thing about the letter. There are all these uppercase Is where they should be - I think 8 of them. And then near the bottom there is a lowercase i where it says "but i'll have to rely on luck..."
I wonder if there is any meaning in this error.

[Xeno Lambrose]

Didn't the letter additionally state that "We left..." regarding the hospital?

Wonder who/what he's with?

And, yes, Rocket, I noticed that too--what it means?

Since a great deal of what you and your new best friend ( ), Smoky Jane, the Aluminum Foil Femme Fatale, found regarding nuclear testing, perhaps we should go waaaaaay back to the original newspaper pages on STIES re: nuclear testing, ala Kennedy/khrushchev and see if any of the recent holes in letters line up with anything important?
