Annotations in Locality field include explicit counts such as 1 slave, 1 white, 1 white 3 slaves, 1 white.

## What I refuse

I do not merge any of these names with Public Lands or MCR occurrences from other bodies.  
I do not treat “white man,” “woman,” “free woman,” “flag,” or parentheticals as identity proofs beyond this face.  
I do not open OHC_2463 in this free turn.  
I do not flatten the source vocabulary of white / slave / mulatto / negro into one category.

## Runway

The form-of-return sequence still has ground ahead. Sideways options remain: captains lists, contents covers, or any free image Holdfast is not on.
