????? Did she say why?
​
She's ok with us digging through the whole estate, she's ok with us putting up a museum exhibit, but she doesn't want a book? Does she not trust us to do it justice, or something?

She wants the documents and artifacts to speak for themselves. Sorry, Ben, but I think the most you'll legally get to write about the Madigan Estate are the description placards when the exhibit goes up. 
​
Look, please try and be sensitive about this. It's her family, her history. If she doesn't want some thrill-seeking travel writer exploiting her massive family trauma, we need to respect that.

Right. "Legally." 
​
No, I get it. I guess it makes sense, and I want her to trust us. Maybe she'll change her mind later, though? I'm still going to write up everything I find out. I need to copy out the documents anyway since I don't have a scanner up here. Consider it a book just for me.

Hey Quinn,
​
I'm settling in ok but there might be a problem getting reports to you on time. My motel is in the middle of town and I have one bar. The wifi is basically functional but it's also super patchy. I asked the guy in the front office if there was anywhere around with better internet, but he just said they've learned to live with it. 
​
I can write things up as I find them, but what should I do if they don't go through?

I mean - it's in the mountains. Kind of makes sense that the reception is bad. 
​
If you can't send the reports to me as you write them, you should be good to hold onto them until you're back in civilization. I feel like if there was a problem, Jane would have given us more of a heads up beforehand.
​
Also, I got a definite answer from her about the book. She says no.
