DEAR SOPHIA,

I AM BEING DELIBERATELY CAUTIOUS IN WHAT I TELL YOU AT THIS TIME. MANY UNFRIENDLY EYES ARE ALSO KEEPING AN EYE ON THIS. THERE IS NO FEAR FOR YOUR EYES TO READ. UNFRIENDLY EYES ARE MEANT FOR ME.

I HAVE FINISHED READING HISTORIES OF HERODOTUS, THUCYDIDES, AND ALEXANDER THE GREAT. NOW I AM STARTING ON JULIUS CAESAR. FROM THE HISTORIES, YOUR HERITAGE CAN BE LINKED AND TRACED BACK TO TROY. FROM BYZANTIUM TO THE HELLENES AT TROY (WHO WERE FORCED TO SCATTER) TO PERSIA, EGYPT, SICILY, GREECE, AND ROME (WHICH WAS FOUNDED BY TROJANS). YOU ARE INTERTWINED WITH ALL OF THOSE CIVILIZATIONS AND HISTORIES BY VIRTUE OF YOUR BLOOD (INCLUDING CLEOPATRA).

I HAVE MUCH TO TEACH YOU AND I WILL YOU WILL HAVE A CLASSICAL EDUCATION. ONE MORE DEADLINE THIS WEEK FRIDAY – ONE STEP CLOSER TO THIS BEING OVER.

286

LOVE,

DAD
