September 25. The guy wrote a lot of letters.

Dear Papa, 
...
You say Sam thinks my clothes will fit him...I trust he will use them tenderly, for I still have a great affection for them...You also say Sam was a better scholar...than Ned or I. [This] I am glad to hear...
[OH YEAH! He's glad to hear that. Oh yeah.] I can say so candidly [PAUSE. What is conjoined with "candidly," like what is conjoined with "honestly," is never candid or honest. UNPAUSE.] If I any longer cared to shine as a scholar...

Excuse me I need to punch the wall.
