DEAR SOPHIA,

WE’VE SEEN THE MOVIE TOGETHER BUT I’VE SEEN THE ORIGINAL MUSICAL. WE WILL EVENTUALLY SEE THE ORIGINAL MUSICAL. I SAW IT IN 1989 AND I WAS CAPTIVATED BY THE FOLLOWING SCENE:

24601 HAS ALWAYS REMAINED WITH ME SINCE THEN. NEVER DID I EXPECT THAT WOULD HAVE TO EXPERIENCE IT IN SOME FORM. HOWEVER, IT FORTIFIED ME FOR WHAT MIGHT COME. THE ONLY THING I WOULD MODIFY IS I WOULD CHANGE THE NAME OF JAVERT TO LIVIA, THE LIVIA AS CLAUDIUS DESCRIBED HER.

143

LOVE,

DAD
