<div dir="ltr">Thanks Deborah -- I was afraid my question had been lost to the void forever. This makes sense. I wonder, what would that proof look like, showing the first and last gatherings are from the same sheet, if you had access to multiple copies to compare?</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 22, 2021 at 4:15 PM Deborah J.

<p class="MsoNormal">Seems like it's been a while since we've had a good signature statement question - and I've got one. Is the following statement sufficient and correct, or is there a way to convey that the 3 leaves of gathering A and the nine leaves of
gathering Q are very likely from the same sheet?<u></u><u></u></p>
