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.)
