How It All Goes Down
28 October 1997
- Here are the details of this letter:
- Alex thanks Jonathan for sending him a duplicate photograph of Augustine for Grandfather.
- Alex and his father fight because Grandfather won't accept payment from Father.
- That payment would be nice for Alex to have, since he's saving to go to America, and he wonders why Grandfather didn't take it to give to him.
- They talk about writing a bit (no, Sammy Davis Junior, Junior won't be "killed in a tragicomic accident while crossing the road" (14.7)).
- Alex asks Jonathan for magazine articles about America.
- It seems that Alex mainly wants to go so that his brother, Little Igor, can have a better life.
