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.

Still, thinking about this. The house and property are not George's
"blessing". Millie is, which George is unable to appreciate. And Bax
impersonates George to get it.

As for their father wanting Bax to kill George:

Malachi 1:2-3
"Was not Esau Jacob's brother?" the LORD says. "Yet I have loved Jacob
but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a
wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals."
