The manuscript is entitled A Case of Buried Treasure and is one of Christie`s short stories featuring Miss. Marple, beginning `"And this," said Jane Helier, completing her introductions, "is Miss. Marple!" Being an actress, she was able to make her point. It was clearly the climax, the triumphant finale! Her tone was equally compounded of reverent awe and triumph.

About VG, 2 Gilbert`s correspondent is Annie Hall Thomas (later Mrs. Pender Cudlip) 1838-1918. British Writer and Novelist. In 1866 Gilbert had proposed marriage to Annie Hall Thomas, and it is probable that her mother vetoed the match. The next year Thomas married Pender Hodge Cudlip, a curate. Gilbert, perhaps in reaction to Thomas declining his hand in marriage, was not very fond of curates and clergymen. Indeed, in The Sorceror, Dr. Daly, the Vicar of Ploverleigh, is subjected to gentle ridicule in The Pale Young Curate song.

The manuscript, written by Tiso in bold pencil, in German, is the President`s statement provided to the Allies at the end of World War II and reads, in part, `I have never done anything against the former Czechoslovakian Republic, although I could have done so on the 6th of October 1938 when we united all parties of Slovakia in the program of our party, the Hlinka Slovakian Peoples Party. That program dealt with the autonomy of Slovakia in the Czechoslovakian Republic. I did nothing against the Czechoslovakian Republic in March 1939, when I went to Berlin on Hitler`s invitation....although I was requested by the foreign ministry to proclaim the independence of Slovakia in Berlin...I never had any dealings with foreign policy, not only because the Slovakian Nation is too small a factor to influence world affairs, but especially because internal affairs took up all of our strength. I dedicated myself completely to the service of my people to further the national, social, and economic interests and to save my nation from being incorporated in another nation and being exploited economically....The form and contents of the protection treaty with the German Reich were forced upon us...The protective treaty with the German Reich did not mean collaboration with National Socialism....I have never allowed, personally or officially, National Socialism in Slovakia....I always did everything in my power against National Socialistic influences; and always strived to save Slovakia from the danger of German occupation....If the Czechoslovakian Government demands my extradition I have to attribute it to these causes: First the false information about my political actions, and to the influence of the Bolsheviks whose request to go over to their side and proclaim the Soviet-Slovakian Republic I did not comply with but instead fled to the West.` Tiso has signed his name in pencil at the foot of each page and, at the conclusion of the document, adds a paragraph in ink in his hand, `This statement on four pages was written by me, by my own hand, freely and voluntarily, without force, threats, or compulsion....and I swear before God, the almighty, that it is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and that I have concealed nothing thereof.` also adding his signature in ink.
