It's taking me months but I've been saving 1to5.net babel translations
of each and every page offline on my computer for reference and I just
need these pages
http://www.1to5.net/saito/history/boshin.html
http://www.1to5.net/saito/history/seinan.html
http://www.1to5.net/saito/history/bannen.html
http://www.1to5.net/saito/history/sonotoki.html
and I'm done!... if anyone has these pages saved in babel language
please let me know:)
she has the funniest commentary and even did this fortune telling
thing for people born on the day hist. S.H. was born (I think that is
the gist of the page)...unlike 3-hajime she has pics of Aizu
locations, not only bonari pass+buddha hall, summary of a stage play
starring our Fujita Goro, discusses the poplularit of Okita's grave
and lots of neat things
****1to5.net has something really weird info not mentioned elsewhere
****I'll spare you the [entire] babel trans...greatly paraphrased
1) There is a location (1to5.net has a pic) where Ito and his minions
and Saito stayed at...at this place Ito (and or his followers)
"Manufacturing method of English or rocket" and webmaster thinks that
perhaps S.H. as an Ito follower studied this as well
2) Ito to Saitou "you are young, therefore it is, the white tooth
saying, the air which was studied various types does the various not
learning."
now...on 3-hajime you get an account of Kondou criticizing Saitou for
his inability to write his name (or the quality of calligraphy)
3) at this "place" "passes about 7 months here. Making provision for
the surprise attack of new selection group, when sleeping, it
designates the right arm as under, or designates the left arm as
under, or discoursed so is, but if Saito left-handedness, everyone you
sleep backwards the oak and others? With just a little you think."
*at other websites the Itou affair lasted 8 months not 7...webmaster
is still speculating on the left/right hand thing here
