Claire Demands an Accounting – 035

Dear Molly,

You speak of research, Molly, but even research can be shaped to serve the teller. How do you choose what to keep and what to leave out? And if you fill the gaps with imagination, how do you keep that from bending truth beyond recognition? And tell me — do you imagine that people will be reading these words in your present time, or in centuries to come?
