I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

I just saw letter that Zora Neale Hurston typed in 1942 to a man she had been married to. It begins “Here is your ring. By putting it into your hands I hope this makes it unnecessary for you to come to see me for any reason what so ever. In fact it is my earnerst prayer that I never see you again unles you are dead. If you will only be decent enough to die I will buy me a red dress, send myself some flowers of congratulations and come to your funeral.” LOL

Me to authors: don’t overdo the description, keep adjectives to a minimum Dylan Thomas:

Respect to Jeremy Hunt, who held his seat (just) but is out as Chancellor: this is a decent speech
