VL-IV: Homestretch

[Michael Bailey]

yer doin great, thanks very much

I for one hope we do go on to San Narciso...

I'm still recovering from the dental weirdness that laid low my
self-censoring for awhile, resulting in some more than usually oddball
posts that actually may have offended Carvill, which I normally
wouldn't do...
some weird gum infection and sinus infection that is getting better
now but too slowly

so I don't have much to say but am following with great interest and
appreciate the wrap up
I think you are shedding some light onto Vineland and bringing it into
perspective...my inclination is to read it like a great classic like
the Odyssey or Dante where the history is so remote  (like, who cares,
Trojans Greeks Guelphs Ghibelllines & so forth...) that you are just
nodding along with the insights into human nature...but as you are
elucidating, there are lots of references to the events that are with
time gradually verging from being current events into becoming
history...and appreciable as such
