This article, sent to us by Robert Graves in Sept 1952, first apprised us of the 
mushroom cult in Mexico and sparked our later investigations. At the same time 
Hans Mardersteig of Verona sent us a drawing of the mushroom stone on exhibit 
in the Rietberg Museum, Zurich, which we later discovered was the one described 
in Entry 100 and which we linked with the Mexican Sacred Mushrooms. R.G.w.

On the night of July 16-17 1938 the young anthropologist Jean Bassett Johnson, 
with three companions (Bernard Bevan, Irmgard Weitlaner, and Louise Lacaud), 
witnessed a mushroom ceremony in Huautla de Jiménez. They were the first white 
persons known to have had this experience, and in the two preceding entries Johnson 
gave his account of that event. Later he lost his life in the 1939-45 war, when the 
American forces landed in North Africa, in Nov 1942. R.G.W.
