Hi Leon,

Re the Univ. Miami saying they have only three chapters of "The
Sidis Story":

Well, I received six chapters, and the first page of Chapter XI (see
attachment for you to type), and many other pages from them on June 14, 1979.

The address on the invoice is University of Miami Library, Coral Gables, Florida 33124.

The manuscript's table of contents says there are 16 chapters. I
fear that the latter chapters were never written; but I cannot
remember whether that's all they had, or simply that I couldn't
afford to send them any more photocopying and mailing charges.

So I still cannot say for certain whether the remaining chapters are there
in the Miami Archives or not.

But one thing's for sure, there are more than just three chapters there.

Cheers,

Dan

===================

Did you get my mail from the University of Miami? They tell me

that they only have chapters 1, 2 and 3 of The Sidis Story.
