Dear Source:

The article written by Bill Kossler on Caspar Holstein is an excellent example of careful research and impartial reporting. I can appreciate the careful work involved in producing such an article since I personally did a lot of research on Holstein, a complex and fascinating man, so I could use him as the model for a hopefully interesting character in one of my historical novels on the Virgin Islands.
