In the Nuiekerk in Amsterdam there was last summer an amazing display.
There were relics of Saint and a exposition of the loin cloth, a bit of the
umbilical cord and hairs from Jesus. I was flabbergasted but the providence
was clear.
Proof is often circumstantial. The jury is still out on the original "What
made Henry a Prince" question That Henry went to America is, on balance
fairly certain.
Charles Michael Boland's book . They All Discovered America. New York:
Doubleday, 1961. and Edward A. Richardson's "The Builder of the Newport
(Rhode Island) Tower." February 1960 and a recent post from Susan Grady
point strongly to Orkney masons. I can find no link with Henry from this
however.

Godfrey maintains the Governor Arnold built the Tower. Pohl came late to
the Henry theory.
Henry Root has brought up some interesting thoughts. My mind is open.
