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.

I've gratefully received your latest, Mantis.  Thanks.  I take
it Father Inire helped with the cover.

On page 5, under "Book of the New Sun" you mention the idea that
Severian has read Canog's "Book of the New Sun" before living and
helping to compose it.

Part of Severian's own autobiographical writings also almost certainly
appear in the brown book, "Wonders of Urth and Sky."  In Chapter XXVIII
of "The Claw of the Conciliator" there's a scene where he's idly
watching the wind riffle the pages of the brown book, and mentions some
of the phrases that strike his eye.  One of them is "by noyade" from
Chapter XXIX of "The Sword of the Lictor."  Cheers.
