From Papon Lomini 

[Undated, est. 6/17/1818)

Dear sir, 

Up to this point, I’d assumed your eccentricities were the result of your credulity relating to impossible things outside the realm of common sense, fed to you by a young man with very poor judgment. And unfortunately, your mind is so saturated with them that it would be impossible to bring you around to a more reasonable frame of mind. 

Therefore, I beg you, please stop writing to me. The postage costs are unnecessary. But more, I don’t want to be seen as a guilty party, accused of bringing harmful ideas into your home. Dismiss all these strange thoughts, I urge you.

Your respectful servant,

Papon Lomini.
