Jerry:

Nice to see your msg.
Everything is ok with me. I have just been sitting on the sidelines. Hope 
you are doing ok.

In any work of the nature that HPB put out, if one reads them with the hat 
of "spelling and grammer teacher" one may not get to the guts of what she 
was trying to communicate. If only one can reach the thought and idea 
behind what is written, errors and imperfections do not matter.

Dallas also has pointed out the kinds of errors that may have crept in. A 
true inquirer will go beyond the errors either of omission and commission!
