[Blindtlk] Fwd: Looking for Braille Catholic Bible

[Jane Jordan (gmail)]

You may be able to order a Catholic Bible from the Exavier Society in  
New Yrok.  I don't reemmber their address, but you may be able to find  
them.  Just call them and ask.  They send it a volume or two at a  
time, and when you want more you ask them.
