We received this note from a friend of mine who, apart from being a Democrat and a lawyer (I know, aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?) is actually a fine fellow. Attached is my reply, upon which his permission to post his letter was conditioned. Just in case any of the NVB birds is circling out there, my note is a joke.

To which I replied:
We are very fond of widows and orphans. With a little butter sauce and
garlic, they're delicious.
Mind if I post this letter? No good deed should go unpunished.
