Another successful experiment, another letter.

You have certainly been keeping yourself busy! As I’ve spent the last few days racking my brain trying to come up with new clues for you, I’m reminded of your mother’s aptly named book,
“A New Clue” and how fiendishly she hid the clues for her readers within its pages. Don’t worry, I won’t be hiding my clues for you in imagery or requiring you to comb the text with a magnifying glass! The truth is I’m not nearly as clever or creative as she was. The best I could muster trying to be cryptic and mysterious would be something like “Break the bricks in the Weight Room with something that has a handle and is very heavy.” I am afraid that in spite of my best efforts the result is not quite cryptic and even less mysterious.

I suppose I’ll leave the riddles to your great uncle and his niece.
