Mail's here! And it's the 8th letter if you can't read Roman numerals. In this episode of the Abbey of Bitter Tea River, well... the episode title does it justice. William can be rather introspective. But I've definitely seen beetles like he describes here. Hey, also, do you ever fold letters like he folds his?
