Dear Renelle,
Just want to let you know a few things from this end, one of them being a plan to switch to another pen if this gets much more faint. That's better--easier on both of us, I suspect. Anyhow, I'm writing like a man possessed, as I don't know for sure when my letters will be taken up and dropped into the outgoing bag.
What I think will help most (aside from a pastoral place to write in) is the article you included in your letter about the author of Blink. I've long thought that one's native intelligence wasn't the sole or dominant determiner of successful people. I'll re-include writings about that subject in a letter either to my mom or you soon.
Right now, there's a vast amount of hard feelings and imagined offense with almost everyone here; I guess the quality of the food has to do with it nearly exclusively.
Glad to see that someone else sees how life's challenges often breed talents. As I write more, I'll send it along. Your faith in me has pulled me out of some truly distressing situations. Thank you for believing in me! I'd better end now before I go and start you thinking I've actually got a human side to me.
Your hope-filled friend,
James
