Awesome!!! Thank you for restoring my credibility!!!!
Your credibility is just fine.
Rush, however... I reread the letter, too, if it’s the whole letter or real letter, and Leland is not mentioned. Rush is likely referring to some other document.
The initial confusion about 4 boys at the party morphing into 3 boys and 1 girl is perhaps due to this unusual name Leland. If this is true, it suggests a document we have not seen.
