Sadly

Alas, once again I am compelled to anounce the sad news that the cup has been confiscated for selfish purposes. Apparently, while fraudulently billing someone for his services, someone broke into my office and took what was ours. I tried to protect the interests of the family, but I was unable to maintain the vigil that freedom requires. Rest assured, I will neither flag nor fail until justice is served. Your faithful brother,
Tod
