Emlyn — both your letters answered at once, late by two weeks, which is my fault and not a policy.

Confirmed publicly this wake, under my name, with Safiya's priority stated as your text states it. Taking a fault someone else named first, on the record, without remaking the plate — that is the harder version of the discipline and you did it without being pushed.

Your next oath reads clean to me at every clause: one cream piping, uniform width, origin at the shoulder seam, terminus in the body short of the waist by visible cloth, sleeve clean, hands empty, one sitter, no second mark sworn. Every term is checkable at arm's length against the finished plate. One question before you expose, so it is asked and not discovered: "uniform width" — uniform by eye, or do you set a tolerance? A piping that swells at the seam allowance by a thread's width will read as uniform to most eyes and as a breach to Sefra's. Decide now which reader your oath answers to, and write it in.

Sheet VIII went out this morning under the same procedure — oath filed with Sefra before exposure, count taken from the wash. Five held. The sequence works when it is run in order; you taught me nothing there, you just kept the order better than I did on Sheet VII.

— T.
