Dearest Betsy,
I write this letter with a bit of contention. Yet despite my fervent protest to their accusations, I find myself a man bemused. Now I am well aware I need not inform you of all people of my true nature, but I feel inclined to set the record strait.First would be the deformation of my heritage. They have tried to say I am from Missouri, which is absurd. I can in fact verify that I descend from thirteen generations of Kentucky royalty.Second would be in regards to their allegations of my career. While it is true I have been “squandering†my time in the Spanish Main, that doesn’t make me a pirate, no more then taking company with Admiral Brunette, or sailing with his fleet of galleons, make me a solider. I suppose by that logic, having my seat in the House makes me a patriot, and politician, and we are both well aware of the error of that train of thought. It’s bad enough the Lords expect me to speak in the House, but I need not tell you what a dreadful bore it would be, if I were forced to uphold the responsibilities of being a politicianNow on to more pleasant conversation, and answers to the questions that arose in your last letter. Yes, I am still an avid dancer, and ardent guitarist. I am currently working on a piece by Bach.I am afraid the rumors are true; I have been seen as of late in the company of Lord and Lady Boehm, though mostly only for tea.No, I have not taken to Philanthropy; you know I am temporally against it. I would say I am philosophically against it, but Aesthetics says nothing of opposition to philanthropic pursuits.I have been reading Keats as of late, which I feel is a satisfactory substitution to Wilde, which I have read many times over. He possesses a quick wit, though perhaps not as sharp as Wilde, and his passion seeps from his writing. Maybe next I’ll take up Poe?I am still listening to the music of Jimmy Page, after all these years. I know you thought I would grow out of it, but you should know by now that my taste usually remains unchanged. After all, why would I change something so imperfect?I feel I must let you go, but I look forward to hearing from you soon,With love,
The insatiable Horton J. CrowP.S. In case you wanted to know about the decor at my house,
