I know your mother isn’t too keen on you eating sweets, but I took the liberty of adding a few things I thought you might enjoy. The brownies are homemade, my own special recipe in fact. And I know your birthday isn’t until mid-March, but I thought I would include a little money to keep in your pocket. Louisville is enjoying an unseasonably warm fall. The leaves have yet to change but I have faith. The other night I took in a Shakespeare play at Actor’s Theater. I think it was supposed to be Measure for Measure but I have no idea what the director and his sub-par cast were trying to communicate. There was a young man in the cast who looked like your brother Peter but that’s about the only joy I left the theater with. I understand that you will be attending a nondenominational Wednesday chapel service as well as a mass on Sunday mornings at which you will be able to take communion. I hope you will keep your Catholic faith in mind and all that Christ suffered on our behalf. I very much look forward to seeing you at Thanksgiving again.
