Indeed, were you to be deposted, I would not begin to know how to minister to such a loss. But, a minister of defence I could readily be, should need for such a post there be. If so, I urge you not to fence with words, nor post any fencing posts, but to speak plainly, and posthaste, to so advise if you are in a state of defensive posture. For pre-haste makes no man well, but ministering to one unfenced, unstraddled and brought down is to help a man to cease from digging wholly too far a hole, and that post-haste. For well it said, de post is mightier den de fence, and so is the post hole mightier than the whole post. But beyond well, hale and whole, even the best minister cannot make you, for there is no known line post-whole, post-hale. So, I shall sign this post, hail away, and sign off, though without a mount, I shall not post off, though I suppose I could go to the post officers for such.
