This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

At the time Wolfe wrote the original story, he had not yet published any 
books to my knowledge. Maitre's books are probably his private volumes 
of notes on vivisection and theories of how best to take over the world.

Veil (that which hides) could easily be an assumed name. She may even 
have married a Mr. Veil in an attempt to further the planetary takeover 
plot.
