- Here's a letter from Jamie's brother Edward, sent after Jamie had been at Buckner for a month.
- Basically, Edward's perfect. He's applied to the University of Chicago, Yale, and Carnegie Mellon for pre-med.
- He's also joined the cross-country team and is on a no-cholesterol, high-protein diet. What does he eat? Oatmeal, almonds, salmon, and coconut milk.
- Their mom's renovating the basement, so Jamie should expect her to put him to work when he comes home for Thanksgiving.
- Edward wants Jamie to know that he never told their parents about some of the bad stuff Jamie did, like stealing the neighbor's birdbath and smoking weed in the garage.
- However, he also doesn't approve of this behavior, and he hopes Jamie will get it together at Buckner instead of being a degenerate (read: homosexual) like P.
- He ends the letter by telling Jamie not to break their parents' hearts.
