Dear Sirs:I admire’your individuality and non-conformance
regarding the subject of the earth's shape. Your organization, the Plat Earth Society, intrigues me;I would be very glad to receive information concerning it and, possibly, become a member.
Sincerely,Robert C. Scharff

Miss Valerie Bowles, 86, Foxearth Road, Selsdon,Surrey/
15th June, 1965.Mr. Shenton,24, Tondon Road, Dover,Kent.
Dear Mr. Shenton,
I am writing on behalf of the Selsdon Young Conservatives to ask whether it would be possible for yourself or one of the members of the Intemation Flat Earth Society to come along one Thursday evening to give us a talk on this very interesting theory of your Society,
As you will have realised our meetings are held at Selsdon, Surrey which is quite a way from Dover, if you yourself cannot come perhaps one of your colleagues nearer to Selsdon would be able to.
If you are interested may I suggest on of the following evenings: 20th January, 1966, or 3rd February, I966,
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely.
Valerie Bowles Hon. Asst. Secretary.

Some of us in Buffalo read an article in our local paper about your statement made when the American Astronauts circled the world.

Very truly yours.

thinking scientists,we have heard about theInternational Flat iarth Society. However, because of the doubt and ridicule which our studies have encountered, we hesitated to contact vou for fear thafc wa might become the victims of a hoax.
We heard t’nat you have stated that the diameter of the siin is 32 miles. Because of the nroximity of this figure to our own calculated figure, we tend to baliave in your sincerety. Further studies sunport our obsar- tra-t-Tnn H-.fl h hhor-o 1 .Q no i screnencv

Before any further correspondence, we desire more ‘■’nforp-’ation about the society and its meTTibers and the principles on which it is based. We understand that there are several other Americans who are me’Tibers. Please excuse our he'sitance to 'livulge any further informatio about our research, t’hese days you cannot choose confidences too carefully for fear of fraud, ■’laase do not construe our caution as mistriast.
