Note
Jeffrey Mass rarely included the year when he dated his letters, but the opening sentence of this one – "On this day after your Great Political Change (which was also out Thanksgiving!)" – is sufficient to date the letter to the day after Margaret Thatcher's resignation as Prime Minister in 1990.
