     In 1966, the American Bible Society published The New Testament, Today's English Version.  This inspired Samuel Tyldsley to compose the following fragment in a letter to his brother, a catholic priest residing in Detroit.¹⁴  "I thought I should get a professional opinion before I submit the Old Testament to the society.  Enclosed is the customary two-dollar fee."
     The letter is dated August 20, 1966, just six months before Samuel Tyldsley's mysterious disappearance.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

     Big Daddy made the scene doing heaven and earth.
And the earth was doing free-form, like nowhere, man.  And the big black blanket hung on the well (like total nightsville in lakeland, babe).  And Big Daddy cruised the surf.
     And The Man says, Bring on the rays; and there was rays.
     And Big Daddy dug the rays, they were cool. Then He said do five in ten and there was A and P of M.
