Dear Editor,

I ask you to publish the following information in your Newsletter:

" I have been studying the Easter Island writing system, and need badly any information about brief rongo-rongo inscriptions engraved on Rapanui artifacts. Several such inscriptions have been deciphered, and one of them clarifies the origin of the mysterious tribe 'Hanau momoko'. If possible, please send me photocopies (xerox-copies) of the drawings as well as inform me the sources. I hope that the enthusiasts will continue an active search for new "talking artifacts" (including rongo-rongo tablets) in private collections and on Easter Island."

Yours sincerely,

Sergei V. Rjabchikov
