A letter like that could have saved us a lot of grief; Bob knows my story, but I'll leave it at that.

John sent a number of pieces of useful advice over the years as we talked about my father's collection. Ironic that this month I've been working on my office, rearranging all of that material to a more readily examined collection. The papers are still scrambled, but the books that I have are right here in reach. After a burglary a few years ago I stopped work on the collection, but I've been getting back to it.
