I see your point.
But for me, I see proofs (which, granted, are of a nature that you might 
not find compelling) that --without these letters -- would have strongly 
inclined me to believe that Wolfe was thematically associating a 
homosexual Incus as a female. (And I would have been embarrassed for the 
man.) "Soldier of the Mist" inclines me to think he would not be so 
naive. And gratefully, we do have these letters and the sacrifice of 
Hyacinth that cause me to *not* imagine Maytera Corn as the Prolocutor 
prancing around in female drag calling himself "Hymencallis".
