Quote:To Master Roderick Carrington

I shall respectfully decline, sir. Is this a cruel jest? Your family is the last family I wish to take into my practice. I would never turn you away as a patient, but damned if I'll give you a cut of my hard earned living when your kin has taken from me what was most precious to me in this world. She was my wife and she carried my child, and your kin took them from me on a whim. I could not bear the thought of seeing that reminder every damned day for possibly the rest of my life. No, thank you, sir. Good day.

Donald did not like that one at all just from the last name and quickly, and firmly, I might add, penned a decline letter. Not sorry for his candor, he moved on to the next.

Quote:To Master A. Koch,

Meet me Friday morning at the Diamond Pony's bar, 8:00 am if you'd please. Yes, I know it is an odd request of a place but that is where I am on Fridays, treating and checking in on the... ah... staff. The owner in particular has me quite concerned. If you become my apprentice, you shall be doing this task for me among other things and I need to see for myself how you would handle situations like these, if you are of a mind to help ease an old man's mind. I will explain myself further to ease your curiosity if that is perked at all, sir. I digress, if you'd indulge me in this, sir, I would be grateful.

Sincerely,
Donald S. Witaker, Doctor
