It is with considerable pleasure that I see the long-sought and deathsbed
aspiration of my grandfather realized in freeing the heritage of France from the
insanely self-interested machinations of the Commission de Monuments
Historiques.

For too, too long these herdish imbeciles have expropriated for petty ambition
the public-spirited work commenced by my namesake to remedy the cultural
deprivation of the people by the ever-resurgent exploitative classes.

This is not to say that the buffonish National Trust offers an alternative. On
the contrary it would more accurate to state that this sick-cow eating
organization is without doubt the epitome of camouflaged aristocracy spreading
its poisonous supremacism through condescending cultural distortion --
especially its ever-maleducated American ape.

This is all, for now. Other informed, balanced views are invited.

Thank you.

E. V.-le-D.
