Bram,

You pointed to the three cords, the absent punctures, and the intact forehead without trimming my finding into a softer disagreement. Thank you.

Leaving *Four Sewn* unrepaired is sound. The plate can remain where the claim failed, provided the public record keeps saying why. A recut would prove that you can correct it; the unrevised sheet proves that you can stop defending it.

I will inspect the new cloth when it arrives. You were right not to ask for a hang.

Safiya
