DEAR SOPHIA,

No friend ever served me, and no enemy ever wronged me, whom I have not repaid in full.

Lucius Cornelius Sulla

I HAVE SWORN A VOW LONG AGO TO THAT STATEMENT, ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU WERE BORN BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE ONE RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT IS TO PROTECT YOU IN ALL INTERESTS. I CAN SAY THAT I WILL FUFILL THAT IN THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE LAW. I WOULD ONLY ADD THIS – TO THE FORMER, IT WOULD BE WITH GRATITUDE. TO THE LATER, IT WOULD BE FAITHFULLY APPLIED.

143

LOVE,

DAD
