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 apologies to the list if this has already been discussed but one
additional curiosity I've noticed on my 2nd reading of the Sorcerer's House:

In letter #21 (Bax to Shell), Bax asks Shell, "Have you ever heard of a Mary
King?" (p. 157).  Mary King doesn't make her formal appearance until letter
#25, but it is clear that Bax is writing this letter to Shell after the
events of the night described in letters #22 and #23 (the "Silver Bullet"
chapters).

Why would Bax ask Shell, a prisoner (and murderer?) about Mary King, a dead
resident of Medicine Man?  Is there some connection between Shell and
Medicine Man that I'm missing?
