    $\begingroup$ The letter mentioned in Buzzard-Gee is a different letter, written only a few years ago. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 23, 2011 at 19:40

    $\begingroup$ In retrospect, your comment shows me that we should have said something like "a 2007 letter from Deligne to Serre" or something. Thanks. I'll change this before it appears in print. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 23, 2011 at 19:41

    $\begingroup$ I wonder if we'll ever start getting these kind of questions about e-mails. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 23, 2011 at 19:44

    $\begingroup$ @Kevin: I sometimes use the "poor-man's method" of editing comments: I copy the text of the old comment into a new comment, edit it, post the revised version, and delete the old comment. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 23, 2011 at 20:04

    $\begingroup$ Dear Przemyslaw, I have a copy of the letter (which I got from Dick Gross many years ago). I can send one to you. (I should have time in the next week or so.) Regards, Matthew P.S. Its arguments are different to those in the literature, e.g. in Mazur and/or Wiles. It more directly uses $p$-adic vanishing cycles. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 3, 2011 at 7:22
