To Mark Hamilton and his family
Mark I was extremely happy to get a letter from you again. I must say that I’m very sorry to hear the news about your father. From reading comments from other members of the society, I heard the news and was hoping it to be false. After reading the letter you sent me today, I believe this to be the worst news to receive. I wish there was some way I could repay him for everything hes done and given to me and this society. I for one will never forget you or your father. My dearest respects go to you and your family. Hang in there buddy. Your father gave you a bigger family than you know.
On another sad note, I woke up this morning to a barking sound I never heard before in the house. My family had found a tiny dog last night and brought it home. As I walked in the kitchen, I found your letter sitting on the counter. Excitement ran through me at first, but then I realized it was Saturday morning and knew anything in this letter would be past its deadline. After reading the terrible news about your father, I almost forgot about the rest of the news in the letter. I was so happy to hear that there was a fourth manuscript. I wish I could thank you and your father personally for the opportunity to own it. But being that today is a day after it’s deadline. I don’t know what I can do to get it. I would gladly pay the full price for it and every manuscript the society has ever offered me doubled. But being that I’m still climbing out of my old life, I simply don’t have the money yet. This has been a terrible week for me.
I lost my hard drive last Tuesday which was also my back up drive with everything on it. All the way back to when I was a kid. I got new thumb drives so I could send my Mom my old drives. She too is going through a ruff time right now. She lost her job not to long ago and I’ve been sending her money and things to help her get by. When I took my new thumb drives to school along with my hard drive to do my homework and transfer all my stuff to the new thumb drives, I accidentally left the whole case by the computer. I lost everything! Projects, military pictures, pictures of family that I will never see again, work for school, everything! losing that hard drive might have just cost me my graduation this term. I don’t know what to do.
With everything that’s happened this week and waking up this morning to hear about your father and not being able to purchase the new manuscript he worked so hard on, almost makes me feel like I’m in a rut with no way out. I’m trying very hard to get where I need to be. But with two jobs, school and my Mom in a rut as well, it’s really hard.
