Dear Mr Irving,
In reply to your letter dated 12th
January, 1999 I would like to make the
following statement re Goebbels
diaries.
A single glass microfiche plate was
brought to the laboratory at Lathom on
the 1st July, 1992 by a gentleman from
the Sunday Times Office.
A small triangular shaped fragment
of glass (approximately 10mm x 10mm x
15mm) was cut form one corner of the
plate and retained for analysis. The
plate was then returned to the
gentleman and he left (to return to
London). I estimate that he was with us
at the laboratory for about twenty
minutes.
The fragment of glass was analysed
in a scanning electron microscope and
the findings were set out in the report
dated 1st July, 1992 (K Arnold/B W
Shaw). A copy of that report is
attached for identification purposes.
To the best of my knowledge the results
and conclusions detailed in the report
are correct.
It was stated in the report of the
1st July, 1992 (K Arnold/B W Shaw) that
a formal report would be prepared. This
was not done, and the report dated 1st
July 1992 (K Arnold/B W Shaw) was the
only one written concerning the glass
microfiche plate.
