Mr. A. Ha:r.il ton Bolton Bolton, Tremblay & Co., 680 Sherbrooke st.,West Iflontreal 2, Canada.

Dear ~r. Bolton:

August 9, 1960.

For the past two years as a subscriber to your Bank Credit Analyst, I have l:;een impressed with your accuracy while noting your attempts to refine the work. I find your .forecasts very helpful.

After the 1929 debaole, Louis Hasbrouok began intensive studies to deteru ine what oa.uses changes in r'iass psychology and t...1.e resulting boons or busts. Re rediscovered SOtle funda!'1ental law8 in the geooentric field which point up the major turnings with great accuracy. His foreoasts are UiOre aocurate than Nelson's of R.G.A. in timing tho periods of electrical disturbances and earthquak'!ts. Incidently, ror several years he has filed in advance wi til Jlelson his .foreoaots of such disturban('}oa.

In view of' your recent C01l'A.filents on one's inabili t)" to predict ohanges in mass psyohology and your lateat intensivo review of the IUliot Wave Principle, I a.s k ed him tc> let "Ie have his comments. The enclosed Augua t 7th letter 18 the result. I'm certain you will find it interesting. You might even find that his work would be a tool whioh you could use to strengthen 101..11' own. Should you happen to be in New ~ork fa1rly 80on, you l' ~ ,(ht find that a chat with hltn both interesting and \1 , uable.

In my hUf!lble view, he has founa sor'.lethlng very ,)asio which require. an organizatIon with adequate facilities to conduct intensive 8 tudies to bring it to full fruition.Maybe you could offer helpful suggestiona.

Sincerely yours, /

Your belief that the il greUents for the "bust- up" will c~anate lar el from broad Is being substantiated more nd ~ore in t he news ; you spoke about t~is a year a~o wben you wer laet here . But .he t he the trouolea co e fro~ . urope or Alph Centauri , wo now that t~ey wi ll not bre k the present trend until the time is ripe , and tb t our cyclic spacc-tl~e structure of chan lng trends indicatcs whe n that will be -- mor e c learly , in fnct , t an ever bofore , throu h recent refino ents ari i n out of uriel ' s remarkable work with spAce-t i~e astrophYSics in predlctin solar flares . The t 0 sides of thc research have et , in full mutual upport .

You are one of t e very few people f s. i liar with our l on ran -e econo~i c forecasts; you have seen how clo ely the cycle and pha e turns fit the pattern of Gvents as t ey develop . 0 I on 't hav to remi d you of the basis of our pre ise: that variat ions in the ec tro yn mic f ield affect a ll l iving t hi gs and be in 8 , and t hat t herefore the pattern of these variations -- e pecially the turnin 3-points of ch noe -- can bo t i med in advance , bcause ti-ne is of the ess ence of t he fielJ . Von isos speake of " tu,nn action in otlon" as the driving force bebind all econo ic chan e , and he b3~es teleology as the ain mot ivating power 1 the sciences of hU'llon action -- "the ends ou-ht by _an in the pursuit of their own desi:>;ns" is the dictio ary definition . "'e lcolo ~y hae for so 10. been four-letter ord in econo ics that it ' ~oo to see it on its way back to respectability.

AprU 24, 1967

We do appreciate your Bedding UB the telegram announcing the sad news Of Hamilton Bolton ' s sudden paasing. It was hard to bo1iove. He had been with us here , only a t ew days earlier; he stopped over tor sevora1 hours on Ms night back to Bermuda from ¥nntrea1 on April 1st. He had beoomo a much cherbhed triend, as well as one ot the great inspirat ional supporto in our work of Space_Time Forecasting in lIhich, as you know, he was daepl;y interested.

You probab~ do not know __ I think faw people did __ that he had spent IlUch til!Je and effort, during the past several years , in an intensive, personal rellearoh ot the I!l8thods , techniques, and SOur081 ot the Spaoe-TilIIe concept. In taot, he was better acquainted with it. f'undal!l8ntals than alVone else except ouraalves. We believo , from what he told us that last Saturday , that he wanted to carry this undertalctng through to a logi oal point of deve10pnent &md application. He made a speoial date with us tor the IIIOrning ot April 24th - t oday I

Among his papers there IlUst be considerable correspondence trom us. He wrote to UI by hand, fro_ h_, correspondence record is only in our rues. But he told us ot a _jar researoh with our work that he had begun, but not completed, and there may be ot hers that 148 had not heard about.

We are wonderi ng if you would be so very good as to find out who it _y be who might be taking over those papers and l etters conneoted with our work, and ask if he would get in touch with us about its about its further use along the linel begun by Hamilton which, we know, ha was anxious should be carried f'urther. We would hope that you m1ght be the one to take them over, as you are already tamiliar with our work through perso!16l acquaintance and through Jim Fraser . But perhaps that is t oo much to hope.

t\:) let us hear from you, and when you are in New York , do stop and soo us. We would like very muoh to keep in touch with you, and with the Company, as the inevitable naw develop1l8Jlts 00_ to pass. And ItJIq I add warm aympathy trom both ot us in what MUst be a great pel'8Onal loss to you.

Mr . Louis Hasbrouck, Space -Time Forecasting of Economic Trends, 319 East 50th Street , New York, N. Y. 10022

Dear Mr. Hasbrouck :

Thank you so very muc h for your warm letter of April 24th.

The deatb of the "boss" - as I used to affectionately call him - to me was a bolt from the sky; I knew he was not feeling well but I had no idea that he was seriousl y ill. After his release from the hospital, I heard the word t hat they had f ound nothing wrong with him, s o , why worry? With the benefit of hinds ight and some investiga tion, it now appears that he was well aware of his condit i on. It takes courage to keep a t hing like this to oneself - perhaps he confided his secret into you? To us, he never offered more than vague hints .

I don ' t know whether it was sheer intui t i on on your pa r t or the use of your space- time c oncept , but you could not have gotten in touch with a better person . Not that I have any personal merit in being able to be of he l p to you , but it so happens tha t Hammy kept his as s ociation with you shrouded with such secrec y that nobody at Bolton-Tremblay ' s, including his personal secretary , somehow knew much about it.

My luc k - and yours - is tha t Hammy chose my own secretary to have his space-time study work done.

The enclosed dating back to March 1965 is all that she had, the ba l ance being at his house. We do not know whether the material found among his personal papers consists of corres pondence, rough figures or s~mply photocopies of letters that he had sent you , and the go-between used fo r obtai ning this information indicated a certa in l ac k of co-operation . Bolton's brother, Richard, is the final a rb i trater of a ll thi ngs and, fortunately, happens to be a very nice person. Why not write to him and state your case? His address: Richard E . Bolton, c/o Bolton , Ellwood & Aimers, 4101 Sherbrooke St. W. , Montreal, Quebec. My secretary, Denyse Cuirot - your ange l - requests tha t this exchange of correspondence and the enclosed, be kept confi dentia l.

Dear Mr . and Mrs . Hasbrouck:

First permit me to i ntroduce myself as Jules L. Tremblay's assistant and VP of BCA Distributors Ltd. Foremost, however, is (or was) my friendship with Hamilton Bolton.

In the past seven years that he and I came to know each other, he often spoke of you to me and whenever he did, his deep affection for both of you did not escape me. In fact, he became very humble when he'd relate to me the attent i on he enjoyed from you . His inquisitive mind, keen perception and sensitivi t y -qualities a dded to his brilliant mi nd - made him a worthy disciple of yours.

Many years ago he loaned me - then bought me - a copy of your book , "Pursuit of Destiny" which I recommended to others . Hammy often referred to this book - so do I for that matter.

When Jules showe d me your letter of the 24th, I felt I had to write you persona lly besides sending you , through Jules, the work that Hammy entrusted to me two years ago . I believe that it may be part of the work mentioned in your letter and from what Hammy s a id to me. I should tell you that when I prodded him a few months ago as to the following pages, he was evasive until I suggested that he may have had second thoughts over what had been wri tten. He agreed but I' m not sure that he was truthful. Perhaps his deteriorating health prevented him from adding to this work I had in my possession and perhaps he did not want to be prodded , or couldn' t be •. . In any case, only you can determine the value of the work . tha t will reach you shortly , through Jules.

I know that Hammy 's desk at home was gone through and that Mr . Don Storey may be a contact. However, Mr . Richard Bolton, Hammy's brother, 4101 Sherbrooke St. W., may be the more logi cal contact under the circumstances to obtain the papers . that were found. I also understand that Mrs . Hamilton Bolton, Spithead Lodge , Wa~vick Pari s h, Bermuda, rel inquished to her brother-in-law all lawyers' contacts, etc.

Mr. and Mrs . Hasbrouck , I do not expect any answer if it is negative but I would appreciate your enlightenment on the foll owing :

Some time early last year, Hammy told me that he'd ask you to plot our respective b1rthdates i n relat i on to each other . I heard no more of this. Around the 22nd of May , he was particularly depressed and implored me to be careful come ~ Fall: " • •• be careful ••. your health •.. or an accident . .• Be careful - something is going to





--

happen . •• " is how he put it. Twice again, over the months, i.e . until early November , he made me promise him that I would be . r "~ careful. From the 14th of November, he steadily grew worse: ~ My question is this: did he ask you to plot our birthdates ~ ::::'\ (October 7, 1911, his; J anuary 25, 1925, mine) and was this the basis of a worry he couldn't overlook? or had he a pre-monition of sickness, grave sickness , that he attributed to me instead of himself? A no- reply wi l l mean the latter.

Forgive me for writing you in this vein but Hammy was very close and very dear to me. He also wanted us to meet but because of Jules, I thought it was better tha t I continued to know you through Hammy's words and affection.

I hope that you'll remember him always with fondness. You were among the very few he truly cared for .

Sincerely yours,

•
