I have had a good look at Zodiac's letter,with envelope,to Melvin Belli,Ricardo...and can see little awry with the front of the envelope.
Yes indeed,it is likely that Zodiac reproduced '' 1228 '' as he saw it,at Belli's house.Clearly,Zodiac did stalk Belli's property,before writing,and sending the letter.
Thoughts of ''Bingo calling'' expressions,do come to mind,like ''two little ducks'' for '' 22 ''.But,for limited ''showing off'' mileage [?].
What I found to be of most interest was apparent ambiguity,in Zodiac's wishes for Belli.
In Zodiac's letter,he writes '' I wish you a happy Christmas. ''
On the back of the envelope,Zodiac writes '' Mery Xmas & New Year ''.
How come ??
As so often is the case,we analyse Zodiac's Halloween Card to Paul Avery,wondering if what is written on the envelope,has any relation to the envelope's contents. i.e. the card.
Certainly,it seems that there is mischievousness at play,in the example of the Halloween Card envelope,and the card itself.
So,why not Melvin Belli's letter,and its envelope ?
I believe that it is certainly possible,that Zodiac had greater plans for the back of Belli's envelope...but aborted these plans,in respect of Belli,and his reputation.
What were these plans ?
It is possible,for instance,that given Zodiac had written '' Mery Xmas & New Year '',he had originally intended to expand this message.
Perhaps,add a reference to his engagement with his persona [?].And,with humour [?].
If Zodiac had added '' Avery '',then wishing Belli an '' Avery Mery Xmass & New Year '',would have appeared quite amusing.
In addition,if Zodiac had employed column ''tools'',like ''LMNO'' and ''WXYZ'',he could have expanded clever plays on words.
Merely adding an ''A'' to '' Mery Xmass & New Year '',would have seen a new top line,reading ''LAW''.
But,perhaps most impressively,the tools of ''LMNO'' and ''WXYZ'' could have reproduced a bottom line,reading '' CAIDOZ ''
What is '' CAIDOZ '' ? Answer : '' ZODIAC '',backwards.
'' CAID '' means '' chief '' or '' captain '',in Arabic.
'' OZ '',from the land of ''Oz'',where,like Alice's looking glass,not everything appears to be,as it seems.
So,signing off with '' CAID OZ '',as in ''Captain Oz'',would certainly have appealed to Zodiac.
Clearly,Zodiac did attempt extended puzzle making,with the Halloween Card's envelope,when sending particular wishes to Paul Avery.
It seems,that Zodiac aborted possibly similar plans,for Melvin Belli.
Though Zodiac could probably see through Belli's pompousness,he respected Belli's abilities as a defence lawyer.Belli could be valuable to Zodiac,in the future.
With Zodiac's letter and envelope,to Belli,he had better curry sympathy,and show that respect.
But,when it came to Paul Avery....the sky was the limit.
