[Written 9-6-05, but I delayed publishing to protect the innocent…. and the guilty]<\/p>\n
A letter arrived on about 9-6-05 for Jane, she is in Oregon for the summer and I am living in her room. The letter looked to be quite official… coming from a local prosecutor’s office. I set it on Scott’s chair. When Natasha came home, the conversation went, as near as I can recall, just like this:<\/p>\n
Lee: There is an important letter for Jane. Do you know how to get in touch with her?
\nNatasha: Where is the letter?
\nLee: I wouldn’t open it. It looks important. It’s on Scott’s chair.
\nNatasha: [walks over to Scott’s chair in his office quickly]
\nLee: [calling into the other room] Don’t open it. It looks important.
\nNatasha: [walks slowly toward me, reading the opened letter]
\nLee: Don’t read it. It’s not for you. It’s illegal for you to read it.
\nNatasha: [Looking up at me and then back to studying the letter] Who is this for?
\nLee: It’s for Jane. Your housemate. [raising my voice slightly] Don’t read it. It’s not for you.
\nNatasha: But this is for Jane Jang.
\nLee: Yes, that’s right, your housemate named Jane. Don’t read it. Do you know how to reach her?
\nNatasha: [still studying the letter carefully, going to page 2] But her name is spelled different. It is C-H-A-N-G
\nLee: They misspelled it. But it’s still for Jane. Stop reading it. Does Scott know how to get in touch with her?
\nNatasha: But that is not her name. It is spelled different.
\nLee: Yes. That letter is for Jane. Stop reading it.
\nNatasha: [walks back into Scott’s office, reading the letter intently. A minute later, she comes out.] Maybe we should find Jane.
\nLee: Yes, that’s what I said. How do we get in touch with Jane? You shouldn’t be reading it. It’s illegal for you to.
\nNatasha: You don’t have to worry. I would never read your mail.
\nLee: [staring at the open letter in her hands] Yes you would.
\nNatasha: [standing in my room, studying the letter closely] I’m just looking for who the letter is to.
\nLee: It’s to Jane. You can see that from the outside.
\nNatasha: Do you have any glue?
\nLee: Huh? No.
\nNatasha: I want to put it back.
\nLee: [holds out some tape]
\nNatasha: [puts the letter in the envelope and seals it with the tape. She then stands up and calls Jane’s voice mail, leaving a message. I don’t know where she put the letter.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
