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.

Tussah is the only choice I can imagine. The Ayuntamiento would be a 
logical choice, but I presume his sponsor is dead since he seems to have 
been abandoned.

This brings up the question of how Tussah KNEW his "son would be Calde" 
after him. Okay. Silk was out there. But Silk was a child and the whorl 
could be a dangerous place as the Ayuntamiento and Blood would overtly 
prove in the case of Tussah. Even if he Ayuntamiento didn't get him, 
some calamity might (remember the event in the pit). There had to be a 
back-up plan.
