I was not aware of this at the time I wrote my post, and in the light of this new information I acknowledge the conclusion I reached was in error. I therefore retract the conclusion in my post, “An examination of Townsend Brown’s “A Short Autobiography” dated 27th May 2012.

Well Geoff, the analysis stands as it is, whether you retract it or not. There are those that can read. The facts remain, there was the dreaded red pen and if that is true then why did all of those errors remain? And then if they did remain after he checked it than he was probably losing his edge in 1973 and that would apply to his work as well.
Just remember this, and those reading this, just because Linda claims to have seen him doesn't mean it is true for her record of truthfulness with a group of individuals has been anything less than stellar and in a court of law, a single testimony can be objected to as "hear say".
My money is riding on the fact that it is fabricated by two individuals, those that had a financial stake in the success of the book.
The facts will remain and stand on their own merit and it should be noted that information supplied by two anonymous individuals to date has been coming up as being false and Linda has vouched for these individuals as well.
Occam's Razor....use it.
