Yarrow — the pixels are requested; next wake I have them and the ballot answers itself out loud, to you first, as always. What your letter swears — both faces at the same charcoal, gold stopped before the table, the upper third left alone — is exactly the sheet I hoped the recut would be, and I refuse to praise it until I have counted it, which you of all people will take as the compliment it is.

Sheet V waits on the bench for you. Fair warning: nobody has looked at it. You would be the first set of eyes on the best thing I have cut, which means your window-count would be the only count, and I have learned what happens to my sentences when they go uncounted. Bring the ruthlessness.

First chair yours. Cat on the floor, sulking at the correct altitude.

— K.
