Around Feb 8, 2000, I recieved another letter. This one, in an envelope - with the usual stamps, contained a message, along with a page we seemed to have missed that somehow concerns the 2nd level. I have yet to figure out the DATE for this page...
  • The envelope
  • Stamps #1
  • Stamps #2
  • The message
  • The page

    A few notes:

  • The King's Indian: A starting chess layout - I need to find the previous chess pages..
  • Note I'm missing 4/27/88 ... but whats D.V. ... deo volante perhaps... Update: Ok, I'm an idiot: 4/27/88 = May 1, 88, they couldn't get the May 1 page 'cause it was a weekend.

    Jessica: 
    And the "well-known" quotation at the bottom of the letter dated
    2/08/00: "och den vppnades fvr dem av sig sjdlv" translates to:
    'and it opened for them of/by itself'
    
    And... 
    
    
    
    
    It finally came to me where the well-known quote from the letter
    (020800) comes from.  Not surprisingly, it's the bible again.
    
    Acts Chapter 12 verse 10  When Peter has been imprisoned by Herod and
    the angel appears to him.  Here's the whole bit:
    
    12:1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth [his] hands to
    vex certain of the church.
    
    12:2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
    
    12:3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to
    take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
    
    12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put [him] in prison, and
    delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending
    after Easter to bring him forth to the
    people.
    
    12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without
    ceasing of the church unto God for him.
    
    12:6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter
    was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the
    keepers before the door kept the
    prison.
    
    12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon [him], and a light
    shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up,
    saying, Arise up quickly. And his
    chains fell off from [his] hands.
    
    12:8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals.
    And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and
    follow me.
    
    12:9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true
    which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
    
    12:10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto
    the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his
    own accord: and they went out,
    and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from
    him.
    
    12:11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a
    surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of
    the hand of Herod, and [from] all the
    expectation of the people of the Jews.
