Archival Scans of Returned Letter -- with 3 "new" pages!

The other night as I was scanning the original "Returned" letter of 1917, I realized that I had given the translator, Rev. Jan Dus only 3 Xeroxes, 3 pages to translate. However, each page of the original letter had writing on the back!

Since my new digital scans of the original letter capture so much more detail than the digital scans of the old Xeroxes, I feel very hopeful that having Jan re-translate the letter will reveal much more information.
This morning, I e-mailed Jan 6 pages total, and I'm excited to hear back from him. Stay tuned!

Meanwhile, here's the scan of newly-discovered page 1b.
I will post the new digital scan of this entire letter on the blog page "Undelivered Letter."
