She gave him those instructions so that she wouldn't reveal any information to him until the "hour of her death". The extra 30 days was because she knew he couldn't stay in one place that long and would open the letter after 10.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Verin is one of the few Aes Sedai intelligent enough to pull off such a trick *NM*

If the Pattern requires Mat to leave before 30 days, then it will force him to.

Mat, by now, must have serious concerns about Verin being Black Ajah

I don't think Mat thinks that seriously about it, to be honest.

So BS was saying that it was significant that 30 days had passed by the end of the book? *NM*
