| 204 | Guide to my Biographical Issues | 5 | Includes a list of the biographical issues. This is the best starting point for those interested in the history of the man and of his work. As with series 202 and 203, these intensly personal documents were written after the death of Claire. |

| 209 | Diploma for Mrs. Claire Bliss | 1 | Presented to Claire on her birthday in 1957. |
| 210 | To all Friends of Unforgettable Claire | 7 | Memorial booklet for Claire. |
| 210 | In Memory of Claire | 113 | Not scanned. Written in 1961, immediately following the death of Claire, and originally numbered 196. There seems to be some obfuscation on Charles' part. When I originally requested this publication he sent me the preceeding series 210 (the memorial booklet). Other references to this publication indicate that it was out of print. In fact, I was only able to get a copy when I visited Charles' paper shop after his death. I found a large stack of this publication, filed in the correct place in the proper sequence. I am only speculating but it appears that having written it he decided it was too personal to distribute.
The document contains gripping and horrific details of being rounded up and shipped off to Dachau, then Buchenwald. It details how he was able to be released and then his struggles to get Claire out of Germany. Then follows Japannese internment, emigration to Australia and the struggle to get Semantography recognized, finally ending with Claire's death. While these events are talked about in many other publications, this one gives an almost day by day account of events. One of the interesting perspectives is the attitude of Austrians after the anschluss. They were determined to prove themselves better than their German counterparts and so embarked on vigorous anti-semetic actions that even surprised their German rulers. This is quite a different story to the sanitized version we get when we see such Hollywood productions as 'The Sound of Music.' One of Charles' problems was his difficulty hearing. The reason for this problem is explained in this publication. At one of the camps the guards decided that they wanted the prisoners to sing as they marched off to work. Charles found the singing too depressing and mouthed the words rather than sing them. This was noticed by one of the guards who then struck him in the back of the head with a rifle butt. From that day Charles' hearing was impaired. |
| 211 | Unforgettable Claire | Not in this collection. | |
| 212 | To Claire and to the Stars | 2 | Poem. |

| 216 | Ethics, Claire and Carl | 22 | Written in the years following Claire's death and finally typed in 1967. These documents were produced as a means of dealing with loss and of recognizing that his work would not be accepted. |
| 217 | Ethics and Science, Claire and Carl | 22 | This is the second manuscript of the preceeding (216) series. |
| 218 | The Invention and Discovery that will Revolutionize the 21st Century. | 397 | Not scanned. This publication appears to have been assembled 'backwards.' Also, it was intended to include a large number of photographs, which are not in the publication I possess. Consequently, the actual number of pages is probably ~200. Includes a number of pages describing basic symbol elements. |
| 219 | The Life Story of "One Writing for One World" | 46 | This deals specifically with the history of Semantography. This is obviously the text for a larger publication, with spaces and captions for photos (but photos are not included). |
| 220 | From the Cradle to the concentration Camp | 12 | Follows his early life, including World War 1, and his experieinces in Dachau and Buchenwald. |
This ends the phase of extended autobiographical writings. The series reverts to a chronology of efforts to get Semantography recognized. Also it is the end of the large tutorial booklets (not counting books that were published). While there are Blissybol correspondence courses to come, there are no more extended publications in this series. |
