็Hi Ellie,
the letter by ELV (to be opened after her death) was written only shortly after Voynich died. She clearly states that Wilfrid had to promise secrecy, and that he only told her confidence, as the only person. The letter was specifically intended for Anne Nill, so it is clear that ELV assumed that Nill knew nothing of this.
It is only since June last year, when I visited the Gregorian University in Rome, that it is clear that the letter of ELV is the only version that is consistent with all verifiable facts. The various different versions of the story by Voynich are all demonstrably invented.
Many independent sources confirm the habit of Wilfrid Voynich to invent the most fabulous stories, and that he actually believed them himself. Rafal Prinke's presentation in Villa Mondragone included several examples, and the book about the Booles and the Hintons by Gerry Kennedy You are not allowed to view links.

People really interested in this should check my web site (e.g. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. , You are not allowed to view links.

For those primarily interested in the decryption of the text of the MS this is all totally uninteresting.
Strickland remains a bit of a mystery. In the end, we can't be entirely sure that Wilfrid told ELV the whole truth, but he was certainly a contact for Voynich w.r.t. the Jesuits of the Villa Mondragone. Voynich was reputedly also a personal friend of Achille Ratti, prefect of the Vatican Library, and later Pope Pius XI, but the source for this is James Westfall Thompson, of whom Gerry Kennedy demonstrates that he was a bit gullible w.r.t Voynich's stories.
