Lynn and Carl
Dear [Lynn],
You’re welcome. [Glad I could help.] I wrote that message yesterday while riding the train from Altoona to Philly.
Geez, [Lynn]. Hope Carl isn’t going off the deep end, and becoming psychopathic. This could be very bad.
You’re living on the mainland this fall with [your son]? Are you buying a house there and selling yours on Vinalhaven, or just living in a hotel somewhere?
I don’t know why your letter would be offensive, except to Carl that is. Perhaps Eudora saw your word ‘fruitcake’ and assumed that you might be calling me that. 
Later.
