Recovered from the Fire of 1926 in Littleton, Rhode Island:
Dearest Leona,
In answer to your query, Great Lenin's Ghost! was spontaneously conceived in the cold, harsh winter of 2005/6 in a burst of uncontained creative passion . But how exactly did reverse mitosis occur, resulting in the singular cell of passion and musical love that is GLG!? That, my dearest, is a tale too long and the telling and far too boring.
--Love,
Herbert
Herbert, my love...
I heard a tale from the local villager that songwriter Aaron Zorgel decided to pair up with programmer Jeremy Mersereau one wintry January afternoon. Is this true?
--Kisses,
Leona
Leona,
How many times have I told you not to frequent the taverns? Who told you this untruth? Was it Johnny Hogwath, that drunken lout?
--Admonishingly,
Herbert
