Here is a fwd I got today brilliant:

FWD: The following was written during the war from the British Ambassador to Moscow to Lord Pembroke in 1943. It has only just been released under the Freedom of Information Act. It is without question, excellent.

Ambassadors Letter

I concur fully. If you can’t read it, it says.

My Dear Reggie,

In these dark days man tends to look for little rays of light that shine from Heaven. My days are probably darker than yours, and I need. Oh God I do, all the light I can get. But I am a decent fellow and I do not want to be mean and selfish about what little brightness is shed upon me from time to time. So I propose to share with you a tiny flash that has illuminated my sombre life and tell you that God has given me a new Turkish colleague whose card tells me that he is called Mustapha Kunt.

: We all feel like that Reggie, now and then, especially when Spring is upon us, but few of us would care to put it on our cards. It takes a Turk to do that.

Sir Archibald Clark Kerr
