Am in the middle of John McPhee's The Headmaster right now and feel compelled to include a snippet. While Frank Boyden was headmaster at Deerfield he apparently wrote thirty-five or so letters a day to everyone from alums to the oil man. Here is one such note, written April 30, 1930:
My dear Mr. Stephenson:
Your letter of April 22nd was received. Please renew the Full Coverage Insurance on my raccoon overcoat for one whole year.
