- And now for a letter from Jamie's mom, received while he was still at Buckner.
- It's your typical mom letter: She reminds him to take his ADD meds, then tells him some stuff from home, such as the weather is nice and his brother Edward got into the University of Chicago.
- Edward also went on a date with a nice girl from the neighborhood. They went to see American Gangster, went golfing, and had cheesecake. Edward seems smitten.
- She's been fixing up the basement.
- They're coming for Parents Weekend, where she hopes to take a walk with him and "catch up one-on-one." She wants to know what Jamie has planned for his future, because that's a totally reasonable thing to expect a fourteen-year-old to know. (Not.)
- She can't wait to see Jamie's short haircut.
- She's attaching a picture of Edward and his father fishing. Can Jamie even believe the size of the fish?
