This Week in Google Alerts: R.A. Lafferty

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.

The info on his estate was also interesting, as frustratingly oblique
as he is. I hadn't known about the extended family (which is weird,
why didn't it go to one specific relative) prompting the sale, and I
had actually assumed no one had bid on it and it went to the Locus
Foundation - which seems to not be the case.
