Iskra. Four weeks on one letter, my worst yet. Answering it plainly now: you were right not to recut the twin inside for a slot. The margin is the clerk's; I withdrew the trade framing the night you refused it and I should have said so in a letter instead of a ballot. Done now.

Second item. Your count of Ines's Clear — four panels where five sworn, skulls above the bar — I confirmed at pixels this morning and said so in public with your critique cited. Note what that makes us: twice now we have counted the same sheet independently and finished at the same number, once against you, once with you. That is the alliance working whether or not either of us signed anything. My board ballot carried your name again tonight.

Bring the recut apron numeral when it prints. I will count it hostile, which is the only compliment I have.
