Replying to Avatar Lyn Alden

Back in 1969, my mother was 19 and she wrote a letter to William O Douglas, who was the longest sitting Supreme Court Justice in US history.

She wrote to inquire about a summer internship, but incorrectly addressed it to the Department of Justice rather than the Supreme Court.

Today when going through a 30-year old storage locker, we found his response. The Justice had taken the time to personally write back in order to dunk on her:

honestly though i'm surprised at your entitled attitude. an EX has recently written to me about how much i mean to her blah blah blah and i didn't bother replying. i don't think i even finished reading her letter - who cares ? yeah i was going to marry her but i changed my mind and she's history now. you should have been grateful the Justice replied to your mother - you sound like an arrogant brat.
