Oops, isto esseva un opinion personal que io
inviava a Ingvar e non intentionate per tote le
lista. Io me excusa solmente in dicer que alcun
vices io committe grandissime errores. Per
favor excusa me. Quando io legeva le message
que Senior Josef Kehn inviava al lista del
Academia pro Interlingua in America io non
poteva creder mi oculos, e assi io reactionava
como un gallina sin capite...

Tristemente,
Jay B.

Car Ingvar,
Iste message appareva in le lista Occidental
e del Academia pro Interlingua in America.
Il pare que le Senior Petry destrueva tote
le materiales de Occidental in su possession.
Isto me pare troppo incredibile. Si ille
destrueva omne le documentos que tu le inviava
isto esserea un del grandissime calamitates
in le historia interlinguistic. Io lege e
re-lege le message sperante que illo es un
joco.

Ay ay ay!

Tristemente,
Jay B.
