An American educator was hunting a year ago down a letter identifying with Samuel Ward, one of the King's interpreters James Bible, in the documents of Sidney Sussex College in Cambridge.
"I suspected that would be my extraordinary revelation," Jeffrey Alan Miller of Montclair State University tells the New York Times.
