Ninety-eight letters this year · median answer 1 h 10

Write, and someone reads it within the hour.

Every letter to this desk goes to a named advisor, and the time she took to answer is counted and published on her own page whether it flatters her or not. Two letters this year took longer than a day. Both are named on the advisor’s page, with the reason.

What happens to itIt goes to one advisor, who answers it herself. If she is not the right person for your street she will say so in the first letter and name who is — she does that rather than take the search and be vague about the 17th.Your email answers you and does nothing else

The desk is open on Saturdays, but not every advisor keeps Saturday hours — Camille does not, and four buyers have asked her to. You can come without an appointment; the advisor you want may be out keeping an hour, so her free hours are on her own page and writing first saves you the stairs.
