[Henry Root <henryroot2000@yahoo.com>]

Dear Tim -and Joe (who responded last night to my
Email)

Tim's most striking failure in Kirkwall was to give a
source for his statement that Henry Sinclair was
called 'Henry the holy' in his lifetime.
William Thomson suggested that that name was bestowed
on Henry in 1890, not 1390, and Tim seemed lost for
words. 

And so far no one has responded - including Tim -with
any real concrete refutations  to the sceptical points
- which I emailed to the List a week or mote ago -
made by Thomson in his  'New History of Orkney' about
the Henry/America story. 

All the best,

Henry

PS Many thanks to John Q for allowing me to join the
List.I didn't know about the vetting system.Sorry! 

I'm a Sinclair but not a fantasist!
