My first copy of my chart

[Jim Eshelman]

Here's a bit of ancient history that I just found in a box: The first time I really ever saw an accurate copy of my chart. This is a copy Garth Allen surprised me with sometime in 1970. (It's now a very old faded photocopy made from a 1970-era copier.) I thought some of you might like to see how he drew them. Everything on it is his handwriting except the 24° etc. scrawled in a different pen after the SVP.

Reminds me of my first hand written Natal Chart done by an astrologer in Chicago in 1977, I still have it pictured-framed somewhere in storage. BTW Jim, do you still think you can locate Firebrace “Wars in the Sidereal” for me to study?

[Jim Eshelman]

Maybe. I'm going through a lot of boxes. I'll keep it in mind if I find it. (I just found three more letters from Fire race and my entire set of Bradley correspondence)

[SteveS]

Thanks Jim.

That's really cool
He has such elegant script, that's so nice to see. What a pleasant memory for you to come across. You must have been ecstatic when you first received it. I hand drew my natal on a big piece of paper that I had painted a self portrait like fantasy picture that showed me engulfed in rainbow colored flames bursting out of a volcano in the middle of the ocean. I had no idea what anything meant at the time astrologically.
You have a real treasure there Jim, I'd say frame it and display it except sunlight is so mean to ink and paper it would be illegible in no time.

Awesome relic! Thanks for sharing.

Steve, I found it! (Tra la!) Now I just have to figure out how to copy it (since some of the pages are oversized foldouts.) I may have to end up mailing it to you for a while and letting you figure out how to copy it.

[SteveS]

That will be fine Jim. Do you still have my address?

Probably somewhere... but it will go faster if you resend it.
