SLATE.

There was another letter, folded into the back of a file, written by Thomas himself the morning before he died.

It was addressed to his wife and had never reached her.

The letter did not accuse anyone of wanting him dead.

It described his frustration over ignored safety concerns, his hope that he could persuade the port to close the bay, and his excitement about the baby they were expecting.

He wrote that he had picked out a name but wanted Elena to have the final say.
