Dear Ms. Moore,

The grant for full tuition to the master’s program at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism remains available.

At the strong recommendation of Father John, and due to the confidence he has in you, the director of the Dover Foundation has agreed to give you this second chance.

There is, however, one stipulation. The director wants to receive personal progress letters from you as reassurance that this decision was the right one.

You may write to him as you would to a journal, letting him know how your studies are going.

He has opened a post office box for this purpose so you won’t feel the added pressure of an immediate connection to him or to the foundation.

Additionally, he will not write back, but asks that you write to him regularly about “things that matter.”

He recognizes that this is an unusual requirement, but the foundation needs to know that its resources are being used in the best way possible.

Given your sudden change of heart, he feels it is not too much to ask.

To make this easier for you, he will also remain anonymous.

You may write to him at this address under the name George Knightley.

Sincerely,

Laura Temper

Personal Assistant to

Mr. G. Knightley
