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.

Indeed, verily.

"This world, the most ancient of all, I made my capital.  That was an
error, because I lingered too long when disaster came.  By the time I would
have escaped, escape was no longer open to me--those to whom I had given
control of such ships as could reach the stars had fled in them, and I was
besieged on this mountain.  I shall not make that mistake again.  My
capital will be elsewhere, and I will give this world to you, to rule as my
steward" (III, ch. 26, p. 213).
