Letter 2087: I feel as though I am traveling with you whenever your vivid narrative describes your comings and goings.
I feel as though I am traveling with you whenever your vivid narrative describes your comings and goings. Your letters are so detailed and so engaging that the distance between us seems to vanish. Continue this habit, I beg you -- it is the next best thing to your actual presence. When we cannot share the road, we can at least share the telling of it.
