"That truth should be silent I had almost forgot"--Enobarbus in ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, back in Rome after having been too long in Egypt.---------
Melville's PIERRE, Book 4, chapter 5: "Something ever comes of all persistent inquiry; we are not so continually curious for nothing."

Well, I have just finished the full draft of a 2-part chapter. This puts me well over half-way in RACIAL RECKONINGS
I. Jefferson,
Cocke, and Indian Treaties; the Sims Settlers
II. Cousin
Thomas in the White House then Monticello; the Widows Sims in a Frontier Cabin
then a Hut roofed by tree bark--Barksville
This was a very hard one to write. The remaining ones should be much shorter.
