Dear LT,
Agh, so many e-mails lately! When T comes back from vacation, I'm going to tell her she can never retire, because then you'll never leave me alone!

This doesn't mean I don't care, of course. I do. Very much. It's just an awful lot of reading material, and I'm not entirely sure how to respond to some of it. You're worrying me a little, but I don't know how worried I should be. And if you were in a really bad place, you'd text or call, right? So I'll just stay with slightly concerned and try to make my response to you a more positive one. Hopefully something good enough to hold you till T is back in town Monday...

Take care,
MC
