My Good Son of Liberty,
I realise how your and your comrades' having tossed tea into harbours and revolted against the Crown might propose such a drastic measure. But, bear with me. There are far gentler and civilised means.
Let me quote from Peter Pan. "Every time a child says, 'I don't believe in faeries,' there is a faery somewhere that falls down dead."
Royalty are like faeries. In fact, the two sets are not disjoint. It we people on the pavement did not show up for their pomp and parades, did not clap when they intoned a speech prepared by their betters, did not buy commemorative spoons, cups,and toiletries, did not wipe tears of admiration, royalty like faeries would fade away.
I remain your correspondent,
