TSH: Ted's identity

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.

Well, at least stationary has a corner. A shirt doesn't work. But an
envelope has a corner and one might put their initials in the return
address.It would have to be a letter *he* had written. But any
explanation needs a good reason why she wouldn't say what it was. I
would think it would be something too disgusting to write or something
very incriminating to Ted or Doris. It's needs to be a key to the plot
or else why make such a big deal of it? There are really not that many
things that are commonly monogrammed, I think, and I'm really
befuddled.
