Poison Quill

Transcription continued, moving toward completion. This was evident as there were too few tokens being scanned and queued. While I processed every token, I was already familiar with the key point of the remainder of the transcription. Central to this was the notion of Public versus Private, and the letters in question had been written by Hutchinson while he was in the service of the Public. The whorl was energized with pulses and flashes that helped to formulate the token string:

They were written by public officers, to persons in public station, on public affairs, and intended to procure public measures

The privacy issue was also addressed in that:

the chief caution expressed with regard to privacy, was, to keep their contents from the Colony Agents, who the writers apprehended might return them, or copies of them, to America.

As the three doublings of tokens were transcribed, the outer layer surrounding the bubble dissolved and dissipated. The double-walled bubble remained, and the last of the interior tendrils went dormant once again.
