Leaves of Grass letter

From GoForth

[edit] Letter from Nathan Strauss

This letter was found inside a copy of Leaves of Grass as part of the Clue 2 pickup.

Grayson,

As you depart on your
new life's journey, let the
words herein remind you
of all of those with whom
you share the path-fellow
travelers past and to come.

For though it may seem
you depart here alone, you
made this voyage for both
of us.

"Be it as if I were
with you. (Be not too
certain but I am now
with you)." Calamus 112.6

Your friend always,
Nathan Strauss
