Brilliant.

Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.

Did you see it glow when it was first opened in the stagecoach?

Maybe the glow was the result of something that happened to it in the years between 1868(?) and 1994.

It does glow for a second when Maj. Warren takes it out of the envelope and flattens it in the coach. It glows with that very familiar golden glow.

Is that so? That would put a whole new angle on the matter.

It even emits that glow onto Kurt Russell's face as he begins to read the letter in the stagecoach. I think Quentin found the perfect answer to his riddle.

This also helps explain Brett and Flock of Seagulls. They're not drug dealers or diamond thieves. They were most likely grad students offering to either authenticate or middleman the Lincoln Letter for Marcellus. The letter would have had special meaning to Marcellus and an exceptional provenance having been discovered on the dead Major in Minnie's, with no witnesses to his admitted fraud.

Of course the last we saw it, Mannix had balled it up and tossed it on the floor by the bed.

And Sam Jackson's character retrieves and protects the letter. Perfect.
