Part 3

Postdate: June 24, Tokyo, Japan
Dear B:
Would you believe he got the date wrong? I sit out in the middle of a freezing cold rainstorm all night, almost get pneumonia, and then he remembers that two lines mean 2, and THREE lines means 3!!! GARH! It was a fun party, sorry you had to miss it. We went to Shinjuku afterwards, and THAT was also a wild party, of the not-S------ type. They sell these little cheesy fortune things at every single shrine big enough to hold a table and a cash register (and I sure saw a lot of shrines, @!#$ing Wesley), I got you one for "Luck In Work". Even though we make our own luck, eh B? See you tomorrow (which is today but it's not, gotta love the International Date Line).
With Love From Japan (I'm sick of that line already), Faith
Dear Mr. Giles:
Unfortunately, due to a small error in converting the dates, we were a day early for the situation here in Japan. On the bright side, early is better than late! We will be returning to the United States tomorrow. I am bringing you a lovely talisman I purchased for surprisingly cheap at the Meiji shrine, it is for fortune in your workplace. Protection is the better part of valor, as Travers always said at school.
