: : Dear Courier Editors,

: : Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing the lovely, intelligent, articulate Miss Eugenie to my attention through your excellent (if somewhat colonially backward) publication.

: We'll take that as a compliment ... thank you!

: : I have finally found a woman I can relate to - a woman who sees things as I do - in the enlightened manner of the truly blue of blood. I wish to make her acquaintance, if it should so please her to meet a truly aristocratic American.

: Are you SURE you want to do that?!?

: : Is it possible you can arrange an introduction, as I feel we could burn our way into literary history together.

: Mr. Funnymore ... Eugenie is a mere employee of the newspaper giant known as "The Courier." No history, literary or otherwise, will be burned through the likes of HER!. Can we interest you, perhaps, in a satirical re-telling of this ... uh ... uh ... story? THAT might have potential, IF we can arouse the slumbering interest of the rabble that loiters here in this Godforsaken land!

: :I can write no more - the lace at my cuffs wilts with the heat of my pulse and smears the ink upon the page.

: PIG!

:
: : Your servant,

: You bet!

: : James Funnymore Cooper

: Ohhhh .... still another unknown!

: The CEs

Dear Courier Editors,

Since you decline to introduce me to the charming and virtuous Cousin Eugenie, I will simply have to forge my literary way unaided and alone. Ah, the tragedy - when you think of the reflected glory that could be yours when I eventually publish the sure-to-be-a-best-seller series, "The Suede Sock Tales", a wholesome and eloquent depiction of the life of a frontier hunter. Please understand, howsever, that I will continue to subscribe to The Courier, as it brings such a touch of veracity to my views of the Colonial Experience.

Yours truly,
James Funnymore Cooper
Author and Democratic Aristocrat
