Dear Peter, He had better be treating you right. Is he paying attention to you? Father is a damned fool — you should see him in my time! What a rigid [a line is scribbled out]. He likes to think that he's still as spry as he was in the seventeenth century, but I have to disagree. Kick him in the knee, remind him of his age! Of course, I should tell you to respect your elders. I do not think I will. —Captain A.F. Jones

Dear Captain Alfred Franklin Jones,

Yes, he’s treating me right. He pays me lots of attention, he says he’s going to start teaching me how to build rockets and how to swim with my floaters, and all of that sort of stuff. I can’t wait, it sounds like it’ll be awful fun.

And dad isn’t a fool, he isn’t — he’s a lot better now. Did you know, I got him a pair of pants underwear for Father’s Day, and he says that he likes them enough!

I don’t think that I will kick him in the knee, that might hurt him.

But I’ll draw a picture of you kicking King George’s knee if you’d like.

Love, Peter.

Dear Peter, I do hope that you are doing well! Pardon my long absence, the political situation in the United States has become quite heated, and we are facing a great deal of trouble with Mexico. I am unable to so much as board my ship to visit you, but I did find the time to sit down and write! Have a wonderful evening, and remind England that I am not entirely idiotic? Love and warm wishes, your brother, Captain Alfred Franklin Jones

Dear Captain Alfred Franklin Jones,

Things have been good here! Actually, I — I live with my modern brother Alfred who lives in this timeline right now. It’s a little confusing, but — maybe we can see each other sooner then you think.

I’ve missed you an awful lot, and I hope you have a good birthday soon. I’m always thinking about you, and — make sure you get a lot of rest, okay?

I’ll tell dad how smart you are, I promise.

Love, Peter.

Peter, my boy! I do hope that this letter finds you in good health! Pardon my absence, if you would be so kind, I've been quite the busy country lately. I promise that I have not forgotten about you, but work keeps me from setting foot outside of the country (I have not seen my own ship in weeks). I have seen fit to attach several small items with this, all American-made, in which I hope you will find some pleasure. Sincerely yours, Captain A.F. Jones

Dad...dad...

[it takes him a long moment to say anything else. His shoulders tremble as he fingers over the packages, hugging them close to his chest. He's not crying. No, he's not crying. These tears are happy ones.]

[Swallowing, and looking at the letter, over and over again, he finally sets it down on his desk and pulls out some papers and a crayon. Carefully, he writes out his own.]
