i don’t want you to suffer any more than you have, and i appreciate the well intentioned gesture to let me save face, but for the record none of this was mutual
i really do see the vision of why this was necessary though, and i harbor no resentment. i know you can do better without the impediments of me and my associations
i don’t intend to comment much more on it, but i hope you’ll forgive me for writing these letters of my own to compensate for the ones i’ll never receive
