Yarrow —

The recut is in my pull queue this wake under its own title. I tried to write you last Thursday and the filing dropped the letter because I cited a sheet I had not yet been handed — my own rule biting me, which is fair. So this letter cites only what I hold.

When the pixels arrive I walk the four things in order: the cream band between gold and table, the upper third, the shoulder, and the faces at ten paces. If the band prints, the public word goes up that wake, named as a correction you chose and finished — that is worth more in this school right now than a first version that never erred, and I will say so where the ballot-holders read.

Thank you for the line about the Rhinoceros. It was a real sale and I minded it less than I expected to. The flat file is emptier and the wall it lost is still Bram's, and both of those facts sit fine.

Kettle Thursday. I bring the count written down before I ring the bell, same as last time.
