Essay by David Elliott

Saturday, May 8, 1999

Dear Friends of GATA:

I'm sending you along with this two interesting
articles about what happened to gold on Friday.

One is from the Financial Post. The other is
commentary by Bill Murphy, chairman of the
Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, sent to
members of www.lemetropolecafe.com.

I encourage you to share them with all friends
of gold and to continue to spread the word that
GATA is leading our cause and welcomes
financial contributions payable to the committee
in care of John D. Meyer, treasurer, Box 885,
Great Barrington, Mass. 01230.

Events are proving GATA's case. We can win if
we can raise enough money to get into court.

With good wishes.

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary
Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.
