In a post script typed a day later. . It is not on these pages I have here. I suspect that is the explanation. Again, I can only talk in generic terms and say that I collected several thousand letters of this nature when I wrote the book, far more material than I could possibly use, and I would be looking for specific pointers in an instinctive way as to which letters were written. I think it is acceptable, it is common knowledge that some people have better memories than others.
Some people have better short term or long term memories than others.
They can be the same age, but their memory differs from person to person. I would have been looking for people who had specific information about specific events rather than more general information. I am sorry, Mr Irving, for interrupting, but I cannot understand how you could get more specific information then the information from Mr Miller, whose job it was to compile records, that his records at the clearing staff showed 30,000 corpses. That is the only specific information contained in it. If I was to sit down and type an index card on that letter, that is all it would contain.
