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.

Context? Source? Thanks.

I am not telling stories out of school to say that Hartwell is very
enthusiastic about putting together a new collection of Wolfe stories--it's
been over a decade since _Endangered Species_ & _Storeys from the Old
Hotel_, and Wolfe has been producing a lot of material of shorter lengths
in that time.=20
