Over 180 Lots are described and 92 items photographed in color. Again, we are pleased to provide an important group of 16th to 19th Century material. The most important inclusion is a 1592, Ortelius Atlas, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, with 129 maps in original color. Provenance: Lt. Colonel Professor Karl Haushofer (1869-1946). Bio: Rudolph Hess introduced Haushofer to Hitler. He became one of Hitler's principal advisors, and he frequently visited both, Hitler and Hess, while they were in prison and during the writing of Mein Kampf. Haushofer created the concept of Geopolitics and expanded Mackinders theories of East Europe being the key to control of the world - the "heartland." Haushofer's son, Albrecht, was a personal friend of Rudolph Hess, but was part of the German Resistance, and, allegedly, was part of the "bomb plot" to kill Hitler.

E-MAIL ALERT: Some of our clients have notified us that they are having difficulty in sending e-mail to us. This appears to be isolated to those whose Server is "msn.com" and a few others. If this is the suffix of your e-mail and you have been having difficulty, I would be most appreciative of receiving a copy of your "bounceback" message with header codes so that we can trace the cause of the problem. You may FAX to 717-626-8858. I would also appreciate hearing from anyone who is experiencing any other types of communication difficulty. Thank you. James E. Hess.

E-mail Problem Described: The Technical Specialist at the large Server we use, just responded with the following: "Our server is rejecting mail from email.msn.com because it has no forward DNS entry. In order to help reduce SPAM we require that there be a Forward & Reverse DNS entry for all mail servers sending to our domain."

I consulted with our very experienced Web Master, and he reported that our Server is appropriately responding to an industry problem. The solution to the problem is in the hands of the "sending" parties Server. Should any clients be having difficulty sending e-mail to the Heritage Map Museum, or to other parties and receiving "bounce back..undeliverable" responses, I advise that the party contact their Server and request that they initiate the operation of a "Forward and Reverse DNS entry" so that your out-going E-mail will not be hindered.
