*** 1. From Ted to Paul

Dear Mr. Peterson:

Thank you for your note ...

You say that you wonder how I spend my time now. ...

... prisoners here are not allowed to have many books in their cells at any one time, so I have to take extensive notes on the books I read in order to retain the information for later use. Taking these notes costs me a great deal of time. ...

... if you would like to get me a subscription to The Atlantic (magazine), I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
<br>Ted Kaczynski

Dear Mr. Peterson:

I owe you an apology. In my letter dated 12/31/10 I asked you to get me a subscription to *The Atlantic*. I thought my subscription to *The Atlantic* had run out, but apparently I was mistaken. ... You may wonder why I don't know how my own magazine subscriptions are doing. Well, the reason is that all my subscriptions are bought for me by a very strange lady in California who pays no attention to what *I* want in the way of subscriptions. She just orders for me, without my prior consent or my prior knowledge, whatever *she* thinks I should be reading - including travel brochures. Yes, *travel brochures*. Like, maybe she thinks I can travel? ...
