The Power of the Word

[unclear: Th]e Power of the Word

[unclear: ent] and respective readers,

I have recently noticed a growing hostility certain quarters to my letters.

To these people I address a wise old adage [unclear: e] best kind): "The pen is mightier than the [unclear: ord]."

So beware — I have more power in a single [unclear: noun] than the super powers have in all their clear arsenals. My revenge is of the worst kind, I can crush the will, twist the personality, [unclear: de-oy] any vestige of intelligence, wound the very ul, and yt leave the body intact (this is what commonly knows as a fate worse than death.)

And all who cross my path have reason to [unclear: ar] me — for I neither forget nor forgive.

Another dire warning of doom from The Author.

What about the power of the parson who [unclear: deci-d] whether or not to print your words? - ed.)
