Object 96: Note, Recovered From Depth

A single sheet of intake paper, folded small, recovered at the rim of the shaft in Warehouse 7. The hand is hurried and the lower third has been lost to water.

The legible portion is reproduced here for the record:

DETAIL OF SIXTEEN STILL AT THE FACE. WATER COMING IN. THE GREEN GETS BRIGHTER WHEN WE STOP DIGGING SO WE DO NOT STOP. WE ARE NOT LOST WE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE ONE MILE DOWN. PLEASE TELL SOMEONE ABOVE THE MINISTRY. 7-G-1140 SEND —

The remainder is illegible. The note has been logged, filed under correspondence, and accepted as inventory. No office above the Ministry has been identified to forward it to.
