The Sorcerer's House Questions (Major Spoilers)

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.

No, I am bringing in all the independent witnesses against your theory. To
support it, you have to say that the challenge note from George, the letters
from Madame Orizia, and the second letter from Doris are all forged or
edited by Bax. And I say that oversteps the bounds of the suspension of
disbelief. About the only letters admitted as factual at this point are
those to and from Shell, and letters from Millie.

All right then, what is your rational explanation for him "lucking into
money"? Was a deed to a house just handed to him? If so, why? And then he
just happens to inherit a valuable chunk of real estate?  Please show
in-story clues to what really happened.
