Dear Kurl,

Three letters from you in the box this morning! And one of them appears as long as a novella! If the disadvantage to a letter-writing relationship is an occasional period of suspense, then the upside is this joyful abundance when it commences again. I’m taking these missives home to read at my leisure, Kurl. As for yesterday’s short note, I’m so sorry to hear that your back was bothering you. Yet another reason to reduce your time hunched over on rooftops, regardless of your uncle’s opinions on the matter.

Yours truly,

Jo
