Dear Peter,

Please note definition #3 cited below. It is true I wrote that one off in
haste between actual work with the good folks here in Haiti. You'll have to
rely on my commitment to be far more diligent in future critiques. I wish I
could pass the spelling errors off as my editor's fault.  Alas, I don't have
one.

Looking forward to hearing from you in the near future.


My Very Best,

Kevin
