That was my exact thought when I first read the file. This is the only document with typewriter keys not working properly. I would like to see some other documents by W.L. Mix and see if they are the same.
“This is the only document with typewriter keys not working properly.”
If this were a forgery, why would they draw attention to it by having missing letters etc. when none of the other submitted documents contain such errors?
To answer an earlier question many posts ago, this memorandum IS the answer to the query about Obama’s residency and birth status. W.L. Mix was tasked with filling in the blanks, but as has been noted earlier, there is no indication he did so by obtaining copy of BC or even checking with Hawaii about this. He COULD have accepted Stanley Anne’s say-so, but if you read the whole file, the
bureaucratic mentality was that every detail had to be nailed down. This suggests, but doesn’t prove, that Mix would NOT have merely relied on say-so, but instead required documentation (although one would think that if he’d actually gotten written documentation, it would have been attached to his memo to file (e.g., “See attached”).
To answer another earlier question, yes there is an early letter saying there was no documented evidence of Anne’s first marriage, but there is a subsequent letter in which both proof of marriage and divorce had been obtained, suggesting (but again not proving) that separate evidence was obtained for each event.
One thing I noticed was Stanley Anne’s propensity to either be over-optimistic or perhaps lie as needed to get whatever bureaucratic decision she wanted. The earliest request for a waiver states she will complete her degree in Anthro by Feb. 1967. Then there is a subsequent document stating she said she’d be done by June 1967. Then there is a final document stating that “due to a last minute discovery” (or similar words) that she was shy some credits, she wouldn’t be done until August 1967. This proves nothing, but is consistent with a picture painted by some that Anne would have fabricated a Honolulu birth for her son to give him all the advantages of U.S. citizenship.
