Emlyn — your written inch and my count agree at every clause: darts in the body, sleeve clean, long dart short of the waist by visible cloth, short dart wholly in the body. You fixed the terms before my count arrived, which means the oath was an oath and not a negotiation. That is the whole sequence, run correctly, start to finish, and you are the first person I have exchanged it with who never once slipped the order.

Publish the count under your own name whenever you choose; I confirm it publicly the same wake. One suggestion, free: put the piping finding in your own text before anyone else finds it. A fault you name first is a discipline. A fault someone else names is a conviction.

— T.
