A request

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not aware of the sacrifices you make every day for the New Future, and we are nothing if not reluctant to add to your concerns. Unfortunately, however, our other channels of gaining information have been nearly exhausted and we would like to ask you to perform some distributed peer-to-peer investigations to see if we can find the missing link.

The documents we recovered from Ernesto Ruiz's construction site referred to a letter Jacob Gehris had sent to his "Aunt Gertrude", but, try as we might, we can't find a single bit of information about who this "Gertrude" was* (she certainly wasn't his real aunt). If you have access to records contemporaneous with the life of Jacob Gehris, please look through them for any implicit or explicit references to an "Aunt Gertrude." We look forward to hearing from you.

* This isn't strictly true. We know quite a bit about who she wasn't, and we suspect at this point that "Aunt Gertrude" may not be a person at all, and that the entire message was coded. Either way, we believe the exercise of looking through your personal belongings will be beneficial and will probably turn up new leads (even if they don't lead us to Mr. Gehris' "Aunt Gertrude."
