Dear Ms Carter,
I read "Coq au Vin, finished it today. I can't say I liked it, but you were a great character. I'm not a big fan of French things, but this was pretty good. I wish you could have lived longer to give all of us a taste of what you'd come up with. My best wishes to your family. You were definitely were too young to go.
