PEACE: the source story

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.

>From the first paragraph:

"In one kind of death the spirit also dieth, and this it hath been
known to do while yet the body was in vigor for many years. Sometimes,
as is veritably attested, it dieth with the body, but after a season
is raised up again in that place where the body did decay."

Silk died the first kind, Horn the second?
