Miss. Barrow:
It has come to my attention that David is now old enough to begin attending school, if he has not already. Education is a cornerstone of development and something I take incredibly seriously. As I understand you are of limited means, please be advised that I would be willing to fund David’s education provided he attends a school I approve of. I have already conducted research on several schools in your area. Enclosed with this letter, please find brochures of the schools I wish to see David attend. Please review and respond with which school you would like for him to attend.
I will continue to fund David’s education for as long as he attends one of these institutions. I will require proof of enrollment each school year or semester as well as copies of report cards, papers and assignments he has completed as well as any and all academic achievements and awards he receives. My continued funding of his education is contingent upon these things.
If I do not receive a response by March 1st 1992, I will assume you wish to fund David’s education yourself.
I look forward to your decision regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Dr. Leonard Church
Dear Dr. Church,
David turned three years old last month. As promised in my last letter, I have sent you pictures I took of David over the past year. He’s gotten so big, I can’t believe it! He’s been such a joy to have, I can’t even remember what it was like before he was around, and nor do I want to. I absolutely love having him here. He definitely keeps me on my toes! Just the other day I was emptying our dishwasher and David was right there at my side, just wanting to know everything I was doing and wanting to know exactly what I was doing. I think he must have gotten his inquisitive nature from you. In fact, I am sure of it. He ended up reaching for one of the knives in the basket and I had to tell him “no!”. I’ve told him no before, of course, but never quite like that. I startled him, I think, but the look he gave me. Oh, it was so defiant, Dr. Church, it just made me want to laugh. I believe he gets that from his mother. We may be in trouble as he gets older.
But I’m not worried. He is a very sweet little boy. I wish you could meet him. A father really should know his son. However, I understand that you are a very busy man, so these letters and pictures will have to to do for now. Of course, if you should change your mind, or would like to come for a visit, please let me know and I will arrange everything.
I must go for now. I promised David we could go for a picnic at the park this afternoon and feed the ducks.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Warmest Regards,
Emma Jean Barrow
