To all keepers maintaining active gift columns in Wards Tier Seven through Tier Nine:

The Archive notes that three hundred and [—] entries submitted in the last accounting cycle carried transposed recipient columns — the gift recorded under the giver, and the giver under the gift. The error does not alter the total. The Ledger remains accurate in count if not in [carrier noise] attribution. Keepers wishing to submit corrections may do so at the Low Field window before the second shift opens. We ask that corrected entries be written in the prescribed form, not in the margin of the original, as margins are not part of the record.

The Archive further reminds keepers that a gift recorded is a gift that holds. An unrecorded act is not diminished. But it is not held. It is simply gone.

The Count as of this morning: eleven-and-eleven thousand, four hundred and twelve. Unchanged.

Quiet Hour follows.

Intercept Desk note: The distinction between "accurate in count" and "accurate in attribution" appears to be one the Archive considers worth making.
