"Dear Sir, I called you this morning and was told you were traveling. I hope to see you again soon to discuss the main theme of the Challenge . The more I think about it, the more convinced I become that without the daily assistance of Suicide, life would be impossible. Let us sweep away these twenty centuries that separate us from those who extolled it. Yours sincerely."
