The letter is fantastic! The use of monkey, however, as a descriptor for an ape is, at best, inaccurate and problematic.
I shall refrain from the explanation of the differences and allow you the great joy of discovering this information for yourself. I have found that the details are retained much better when one must seek out the facts for oneself. Once you have uncovered the distinguishing features unique to monkeys and apes, I believe you shall never make such disturbing substitutions ever again.
Warmly,
A ridiculous person who dislikes the ease with which too many people use ape and monkey as wildly incorrect interchangeable terms
