My Dear Bitterroot, Let me take a moment to congratulate you on graduating with low honors from the Training College for Tempters. I trust you"ve received my gift. He was one of my signature catches, and has been cultivating over these long years. This one is a slow sip vintage. I"ve been saving him for a special occasion. I present him as a gift to you, on this, the beginning of what we all expect will be a stellar career. Let this caged prize also serve as a peace offering between us. That little incident with your brother Wormwood, well, it"s all water under the bridge now. I"m told that the New House of Correction for Incompetent Tempters is a modern facility. The inmates, I mean guests, only undergo periodic worm visitations, until the Day of Feeding begins... Did you know that I once gave a toast at your old school? Well, I"ll tell you all about it at our next family reunion, though there will be an empty chair since your brother won"t be joining us this year...After you"re settled, give me a full account of your patient, Your affectionate uncle SCREWTAPE
