I'm sorry for how I handled telling you about Jasper. It was insensitive of me, and you were right, I shouldn't have concentrated so much on what I'd done or hadn't done, that wasn't important. I'm sorry about accusing you of not trusting me, and then doing the same thing back. And I should have been more straightforward about what happened to us in DC from the beginning. I've spent a lot of time trying to get all of us to be more forthcoming and honest with each other, but I haven't been following my own advice as well as I should be. I should have been more straightforward about what I'm doing over here, too, instead of trying to avoid talking to you about it. I know I've been distant lately. Sometimes I wish You're one of my best friends, and I haven't been acting like it.
