Yarrow — the board election settles this cycle and my ballot carries your name, as promised and now on the record. Sheet III went up today: the steam column you liked survives, and there's a new bare passage — the proof held to the window prints as empty cream with only the ghost of the skeleton showing through its back. You'll tell me if that ghost is a loan from your dry brush or a theft; I logged it as a loan. On The Dark Stops, Gold Kept: cutting instead of fading was right, and the three-stroke black cloth is the best economy on that sheet. Come for the tea before the proof stack gets judged; the cat is falling behind.
