The P.S. is eerily prophetic!

Love it. If I'd gotten that letter, I really wouldn't feel so bad.

Dear Mr. Usher,

I have read this post in its entirety. Having now read through it, I have come to the end and have only one question… or rather, one comment.

I am quite curious to know: What is it exactly that made the moment in which Clifford chose to share this letter so perfect?

If you so choose to respond to my letter/inquiry, it would be well appreciated.

Respectfully,

Mrs. Bateman

P.S.

I am a great fan of letters and thus, I instantly followed your Instagram account when I discovered it years ago. I’m very glad to see you’re now publishing on Substack as well, and I trust that you will publish here quite responsibly and in good taste. Thank you for all that you share.

It was SNL's 50th celebrations this weekend.

These words “This was written by a person” would have never been used in the 1970’s-90’s. The letter maybe authentic and satirical but there is heavy doubt with the typed bottom line.

OUCH! That hurts clear over here.
