Gresty in the Background
Somebody signing himself 'W. Gresty' sent this letter to Doctor Bartlett from London. It arrived on November 20th 1928.
On November 29th 1928 Dr. Bartlett received a second letter from Gresty, who signed himself 'Wilfred Gresty.
It is notable that at the time this letter was received Bacon's death was not public knowledge.
From these letters several facts can be learned about Gresty.
- Gresty considers the investigators as friends, despite apparently never meeting them.
- Gresty was once a part of the same group as Lawrence Bacon, Malcolm Quarrie, Alexander Roby, Edwards and Coombes.
- This group is no longer together. Gresty still has contact with Bacon and Coombes, but Quarrie has gone away.
- Gresty is from the West Country, like Quarrie and knows Hillary Quarrie.
- Gresty hates London.
- Gresty seems not to share the beliefs of the rest of Bacon's circle, instead serving 'the Goat'(possibly Shub-Niggurath).
- Gresty hints as some kind of power struggle involving himself, Hillary and a man called Atkinson.
