Summary:

Writing in response to a letter from Roberts, Conway comments regarding cases of corpses of men killed in a region of névé emerging years later, with remains scattered; Roberts had apparently mentioned a plot element for a work of fiction involving the youthfully preserved corpse of a lover emerging from a glacier, as well as a certain memory of a frozen hand. Conway also expresses his agreement with a medical proposal made by Roberts, while noting that it would likely to take years for it to become practical politics.
