Dear Sir,
I apologize for not having written sooner; I was remiss. I did not expect that upon my coming here I would find it was also the home of Jonathan Smith; THE Jonathan Smith (of the New York Smiths, as he is fond of saying).
I find that meeting him has not quite been what I would have expected.
I had heard, and read, such accounts of his deeds; it would be like if one were to meet Napoleon Bonaparte. Even if they did not agree with his actions, the meeting itself would prove invaluable. This has held true.
However, I find that he is a coward. He has resources behind him that no other person, especially no other person in this city, has. I keep seeing other members of the domain talk to him as though he is younger than I. It doesn't seem right... but there is nothing I can do to change the minds. It needs to come from him.
He is not stupid, as has been implied by many of the city. He just doesn't believe in himself.
This bothers me.
It bothers me that someone who can be compared to many other great men, great leaders, can have doubts about their own self. Any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
I think I understand, now, why you suggested I come here. This city can definitely use my expertise...
Thank you for your time, sir. I hope this letter finds you well.
Sincerely,
Ashley Graves
