True Collector

 Millard received this letter regarding a painting he is selling this morning, I find it rather amusing:

Hello,

Lovely painting.

I'd love to buy it, but I'm 80 years old, suffer from Alzheimer's, suffer from orthostatic hypertension, live in an assisted living facility, and live on social security.

I apologize for having to ask, but how much would you be willing to take?

Thank you.

Sincerely,

D---- H------k

P.s. being poor is nothing to be ashamed of, but it is damned inconvenient.
