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.

Wombat,

Context: notes in a letter.
Source: a letter received by me in February.
Names: a letter written by Gene Wolfe.

Maybe I'm telling stories out of school, I don't know!

(And hey, Wombat, I just bought [don't ask how much] a copy of WEG's
"Tales of Arabian Nights."  What a beautiful board!  What an
enchanting game design!  I hope to actually play it for the first
time sometime during the week.  I also got "Oregon Trail" and "Kung
Fu 2100," so I guess I've been on a binge.)

P.S. I loved the "Complete Gene Wolfe--a collection of Wolfean
artifacts published throughout the years [in NYRSF]"
list/advertisement in the latest issue.  MAYBE YOU SHOULD REPRINT IT
HERE.

Holy Cow, the whole set (30 issues) would cost $105 for
non-subscribers; only $60 for subscribers.

And yet, as I look it all over, I wonder that we haven't done more!
Makes me want to put down everything and write a Wolfe essay . . .
inspirational, that's what it is.
