I recently found the website Letters of Note. The concept is that the person running the site uploads letters, notes, or other correspondence that, for some reason or another, he finds interesting.

There are a number of fascinating items on the site, but this particular one I've read multiple times. Click the quote box anywhere to read the whole thing.

I've got to write and tell somebody about some stuff and, like I long ago told Larry, you're the best backboard I know. So indulge me a little; I am but hurt.

We built the box ourselves (George Walker, mainly) and Zane and Jed's friends and frat brothers dug the hole in a nice spot between the chicken house and the pond...
