Dear Theo,

I have the most incredible news, and I honestly cannot keep it to myself one more minute! Of course it would be far nicer to tell you in person, but you are still away at the directors' workshop in Winnipeg, and since I am practically bursting with the thrill of it all, waiting for your flight home is simply out of the question.
