Jayne, your physical photos arrived today, and they are very good. With them I was able to definitely resolve an important question about a very small letter that might have been an "l" or an "i" in favor of an "l". So I'm giving out a grin
哂 (alongside a dopey and hopelessly irrelevant not-too-common Chinese character [also a grin] that I rather like which looks like a rice wine bottle adjacent to a mouth on its left -- you may ignore it if you like -- perhaps someone else will recognize it). Fear not the funny faces from this end, smile also, be happy. Will correspond further by molecular mail. Best, Allen.
