Nevermind the substance of the note, I'm fascinated by the handling

The two Relays were set up as parallel gateways between CSNet and The 
Arpanet. My recollection is that I gave them identical gateway routing 
tables.  So I don't understand why the mail went from Udel to Rand.

This note was sent only days after I left the CSNet project.  So I don't 
think it likely anyone reconfigured anything by the time of this message.

And I don't remember configuring anything that would have produced this.

But then, there's lots I don't remember...

I think Mike O'Brien is on this list.  He was the Rand admin for this.
