Executive Mansion
Washington, December 23, 1862

Dear Fanny

It is with deep grief that I learn of the death of your kind and brave Father(his long-time friend William McCullough); and, especially, that it is affecting your young heart beyond what is common in such cases. In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and, to the young, it comes with bitterest agony, because it takes them unawares. The older have learned to ever expect it. I am anxious to afford some alleviation of your present distress. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You can not now realize that you will ever feel better. Is not this so? And yet it is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I have had experience enough to know what I say; and you need only to believe it, to feel better at once. The memory of your dear Father, instead of an agony, will yet be a sad sweet feeling in your heart, of a purer and holier sort than you have known before.

Please present my kind regards to your afflicted mother.

Your sincere friend
A. Lincoln




he couldnt help as he listened to the reportinghe stopped the showhe went online to find the Presidents text and read it for himself  he did this incessantly nowincessantly because he had to read the words for himself without an intermediary telling him  but primarily because he had become misphonichad developed a revulsion which nearly made him physically ill hearing the cunt speak
hearing his voice


he couldnt help but think that America since had produced lesser men 

ethics displaced 

cheap


hed written lately of collusion irredeemableness existential threats natural and manmade maninduced crises  however this newshed found other news depressing but this news profoundly affected him it pushed him down deeper than he had been in a long time 

it seemed the cunt was depraved to a depth that exceeded even his wildest imagination

he understood the process the Mueller investigation was continuing 

however he wondered why there continued to be overt Republican efforts(they might have thought they were being covert to the general population) to waylay the investigation and support either a sociopathic or psychopathic cunt  he remained unsure which the man was



ahh   he turned off the words
                       then he turned up the volume on his computer speakers sat back and listened to Mal Waldron play the pianolistened to Coltrane play the saxophone Clifford Brown play the trumpet McCoy Tyner Gene Ammons Sonny Rollins Lee Morgan Jackie McLean Sun Ra Miles Davis(he could write etcetera etceteraetcetera but it reminded him of ordering Chinese food and he hadnt been to a good Chinese restaurantto his chagrin in a very long time)
