Interesting… Well, regardless of its authenticity, I’m starting to think it’s irrelevant. We don’t know of any Mitchell Lott’s; only Michaels. The letter is marked to a Mitchell. Also, the Lott family website has no mention of a Mitchell…

Yeah, it’s gone. Someone might have reported it.

Well it looks to me that the Ford letter has disappeared (or else my computer is just acting up, which is entirely possible). But if my computer is fine, then I’d say it’s likely the letter either was a fake, or else was just a misguided “clue” hampering our investigation and has been removed…

Also… Does anyone think it’s strange that this letter is written to Mitchell Lott and not Michael? Our Lott is named Michael T Lott, not Mitchell S, and there is no mention of any Mitchell Lott on the Lott family website.

Pretty sure it’s just “in game.” Lott is a character; mention of him being found in real life should either mean it’s A) fake or B) an in game clue.
Like Eric said, if it was a fake, it likely would have been caught and the post removed by now.

I mean it’s hard to say. But I’d think this is just part of the game.

I would consider this “in game”. If it was a fake, it would be moderated.

That being said, the language of this letter is confusing. Lott is being asked to sign an NDA (non disclosure agreement) … this is normal. Is Ford asking Lott to sign the NDA so that he does not disclose any info related to the Ford Pavilion, while also working on WED’s/Gurr’s Project Gorilla? Why the disparaging language about Disney, “… with all due respect, Mr. Disney is in the film business, not the automobile business.”?

What we can takeaway from this letter is that Lott was working both on Project Gorilla (whatever that is) and the Ford Pavilion.

Upon writing to Lott again requesting help with the blueprints I received this answer:

Now, I can’t quite do that. We went through and digitized everything on our site, but our client’s confidentiality is of paramount importance. So, I won’t be able to send you that. Sorry.

Yours truly,

Michael T. Lott

That’s so cool! My paternal grandmother’s family actually sold some of their land to Walt for what is now Walt Disney World (though, since he used multiple fake companies, I don’t think they knew that until AFTER the fact). Also on that side, I have a great great uncle named Roy Roberts who was a character actor in the 40s (he worked with Lucille Ball!) and his nephew was a golf pro/his wife hosted parties for Frank Sinatra and the Marx Brothers! Maybe one of them knew your Nanny Marie

This could be for the Monorail, but don’t forget about Ford’s Magic Skyway which was designed by Bob Gurr, and was literally an ‘apparatus’ for moving ‘auto’mobiles.

Auto Apparatus! That is what this one says. . . could this be code for the monorail?
