To My Nephew

My very young Nephew,

Having invested large reserves of my time and funds into your upbringing and education, I admit myself exceedingly perturbed by the latest of your articles. Not only is it a markedly apparent scrivening of F. Margenites To the Powers of the Common Man, your insipid ideas posit themselves in direct antisition to Duchempt’s recent papers, and to openly contradict such an emerent pen is to invite attenuation of the most unpleasant variety. Have you loosened your mind? To favor the “common man”, as you call him, and support his position in the political machinations of his day is absurd, and as such undercuts your legitimacy.
I will not support your making such a path as this. Do not continue, or you force me to rescind any support of you or your works, as well as withdrawing my recommendations of your character to Ms. Prentlesworth’s esteemed parents.

Remember, Nephew, that more than one reputation depends upon your actions.

Your Concerned Uncle,
Petrogus Ajaxes, Lord of Wentworth
