Who's Aliterate?

Who's Aliterate?

Dear Peter,

Drawing of a man entering a photo booth

I must admit to a certain degree of alarm at T. Scotney's assumption that I am one of the female gender so I must now inform her that her assumption was not completely correct, lest any future confusion should arise on such a vital matter.

May I also assure her that I can (and will) happily withstand the strain of writing to her every fortnight for the next 3.5 years, as there is every likelihood that I shall be attending this wonderful institution of Higher Learning after that period of time has elapsed. Thus, as I see it, the only remaining variable which could put a stop to our regular correspondence is the patience of the Salient staff, and neither of us can speak for their attitude over such an extended period of time.

I feverently hope that "letteracy" is yet another "accidental mistake" on your part, for it is unworthy of a generous, kind-hearted person such as yourself to continue to suspect the proofreader of perpetrating the errors which seem to appear so constantly in your letters. Thank-you for the apology, and I am fully aware that the world will not stop turning. I do not wish to correspond with Mr Wellington, thank-you.

Love,

E. Hamilton.
