Random Wolfe spotting

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.

My weekly Google Alerts for "Gene Wolfe" turned up an interesting one
this week:

"BUYING A HORSE
If its feet are no good, other virtues will be wasted.
Gene Wolfe, Barrington, Illinois"

Hm!

Another Google search reveals no hits; does anyone recognize what the
source for this might be?
