Dear Ross,
The New Yorker just sent the final proof of my essay, Unbuttoned, and I wanted to tell you how much I like the illustration you did. It looks like something in a children’s book, and fits so well with the final line. I love the touch of red, and the shabby jackets hanging in the closet. You got everything just right, and it tears my heart out. Thank you so much.
Sincerely
David Sedaris
