[Dixielandjazz] Murder She Wrote and General Catching-up (another character?)

[Ken Mathieson]

Hi Dan,

Good to hear from you and I hope you and your family are well in these 
weird times.

That's a real bummer having to bale out of a whole month's work and I 
hope your diary refills quickly once this crisis passes. There will 
certainly need to be lots of letting down of hair afterwards.

I must say "Alden & Barrett, Attorneys at Law" sounds a pretty 
respectable firm, well, as respectable as lawyers get. We had a legal 
firm in Scotland, possibly apocryphal but I hope not, called "Robb, 
Cheatham and Steel" and a real one in Glasgow called "McLay, Murray and 
Spens" which is never referred to by its proper name but is universally 
known as "Delay, Worry & Expense". Many a true word... Incidentally, do 
you know the favourite songs of lawyers the world over? One is "The Best 
Things in Life are Fees" and another is "How Could Believe Me When I 
Told You That I Loved You When You Know I've Been a Lawyer All My Life?"

Enuff, stay well,

Regards,
Ken
