Finding the Document

The first document was found by Dr. Cyrus Llanfer on Monday, August 17, 1936, in his valise, after taking some papers home to work at night in his personal study. The items that make up this document were contained within a badly scorched envelope, held shut by a glue that crumbled when opening. The envelope was addressed to Henry Armitage. Llanfer examined the contents of the envelope and took them to Armitage the next morning.

Armitage recognizes the handwriting as his own but has no recollection of having created the document. He requests confidentiality from Llanfer and the two delay notifying their colleagues while they mull the find's significance. After the discovery of the second document on the 20th, the two call a meeting of the Armitage Inquiry.

Contents of the Document

This document was contained in a white envelope, 9" by 12", with several burn marks. Written on the front is the name Henry Armitage in the same handwriting as the sheets within. The flap has been carefully pried open; remnants of the paste or glue that sealed it shut are still attached to the flap's edge.

There are two pages inside, both with rusty bloody splotches. Pinned to the second page on the front side is a small strip of something leathery. There is a small ink tattoo on the strip of leather.

There is a photograph of a woman (the face appears to be torn out). For this page in the PDF, ignore the black space around the photo.

There are a number of flower petals (possibly rose petals?) contained in the envelope.

There is a single leaf.

There is a fine gritty dust on the papers and inside the folds of the envelope.
