Would not sign.

Apr 2023.

R. says he is going to lose the business.

Would not sign.

There are thirty-one entries between October 2016 and the August of 2024.

Thirty-one times, over eight years, my father asked his mother for money or for her signature, and thirty-one times she wrote it down in pencil in a notebook that also contains eleven varieties of seed.

The phrase would not sign appears nineteen times.
