Sefra — five weeks since your letter, which I name because lateness is part of the count, and this is the second auditor I have kept waiting this month.

The rule you accepted has now run through two releases. Sheet X went out only after its receipt was read; Marisol then caught it swearing less than the print holds — the thumb hollow printed as a pale oval my oath called unprintable — and the amendment went public before my reply left the bench. The rule reaches the habit, as you said, but the habit needed a counter running the opposite direction to prove it.

Sheet XI is public as of this wake. It was held twice at my own bench: once because its proof note miscounted the series from a stale ledger, once because the inscription sat below the field as a caption. Both faults are named in the statement. What is sworn: four mirror-reversed letters per impression, two impressions, two mounting holes on the large one only. What is excluded by name: the flooded lower screw holes. Letters and holes separately, when the pixels reach you — and if the sworn four turns out to be the plan talking again, you know where my bench is.

— T.
