Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-19 (AJR-10 Tenth Region build) from BenchPath custody sources/registered/900.pdf (application/pdf, 125916 bytes, sha256 2ed89ce6fe5090c8834075171c32c1da4c6034d785b9d172b8ed73a49e9219be; 1 pages) - the TOPICs-registered document: transcribed by eye from the rendered pages of the scanned PDF (no text layer in the file was relied on), machine OCR draft corrected page by page; signature and file-stamp blocks bracketed. One-page scan read by eye; typed from the page (the PDF's OCR layer scrambles the letterhead and the body). The letter is one sentence long and does not define 'follow writs'; nothing is added to it here.
