Dear Brother,
I've received the following email correspondences from Jon yesterday evening and rather than play blind man's bluff about what was said, I thought perhaps you should read them in strictest confidence. Seems our lad is more than a little smitten; and he's growing up, Ned. He's found his footing and Christ but I wish he'd found it between some lass' thighs instead.
I am proud of him and I love him, but we both know this isn't that simple. Admitting his proclivities to us privately and our learned acceptance of them is one matter. Attaching said proclivities to the estate... You're the Lord, Ned. I'm just keeping the seat warm.
