I'll assume MT really does have evidence in hand and could simply have the fake version of it which has mislead him. I say post the passage MT and lets see, maybe the handwriting as you mentioned does not even match the one in Denver?

Michael he is misquoting my published article. Which contained quotes from the diary and later interviews with Jacobs. There was also the correspondence to Wm Puglisi and other sources that are listed in the bibliographies. The passsage he is speaking about came from Jacobs post war and originally said 1918. It is a typo that was covered in later errata and addenda sections of Cross & Cocakde Intl. When you do research it needs to be thorough. No big mystery folks. Just an eager beaver wanting to discredit Jacobs.
