Dan,
Thanks for the link to that letter and the introduction to that National Archive website. That letter was great and it confirmed what I had read (a book I read took it’s assumptions from this letter, as I went back and looked at the source it was citing) about Landais not respecting Jones and it certainly seems to make a case for the possibility that he may not have been helping at all. I’ll continue to read more about this dynamic and respond accordingly.
