Dear Daniel,
A fact that we are both able to agree upon, I suppose.
I hope so, Daniel. I find the Cheesehead greatly insufferable after he wins though neither you nor Minnesota are the most considerate winners either. And you are very strong in other sports, though with baseball it depends on your team. I do wish someone could bring Elena down a few pegs, she is quite smug over her teams and it is quiet irritating during baseball season. Especially since she is more violent than most. I never did thank you for driving me to the hospital, did I...?
Sincerely, Timothy

Dear Elena,
No, it's not that we did not get snow, we...received snow one week, but the next had temperatures of in the sixties. In February. It was...very unsettling, as I said. But enough about such a discussion, even I know that talking about the weather is something only discussed in socially awkward situations, and we are siblings, are we not? Tell me how life has been recently.
Well...? Do I have something to do for this wedding's preparation, or am I allowed to simply be a guest?
Sincerely, T.J

Dear Christopher,
...Is that sarcasm I am sensing, Christopher? You really should work on that, you may be oblivious at times but you are not very stupid. ...Oy vey... Christopher, honestly, you must learn to calm down. It was simply meant as a joke. Though it is smart to watch the news once in a while, just be sure to take it all with a grain of salt. You know how Father regulates what's shown on the news...
New with me...? Well, nothing, really. I am in my normal spring routine, though a bit earlier than I usually am. And yourself?
Sincerely, Timothy James "T.J." Jones
P.S. Could you please not call me 'bro', Christopher?

TEEJ!
You sound like that bothers you. It wasn't anything big, just talked to the guy, remanded him to his own government to take care of. An issue which I have been working to control. The man sent the letter to her saying it was from me. She didn't have any idea at first that I didn't send it, so of course she would be upset with me.
...That still doesn't mean that some of it isn't true! Well there was that one time, but I guess that was a long time ago. And really even with "just cause" you are aware that I prefer you not attempting to kill any of your siblings. Because you've been possessed by a deranged ghost with a thirst for vengeance and he's going to make you kill them one by one to give you the perfect solitude for both of your twisted souls! Teej, buddy, all that big brother stuff isn't totally wrong. I don't need people watching you to be keeping an eye on you. Besides. I don't send them they send themselves the freaky buggers. I mean some of these pictures I don't know how they even got them. Fine, fine, if that's what you say, Teej, but I'm not sure I see why you would fine that enjoyable. Well so long as you know, but I don't know that I can stop.
Yes it is! Your birthday is a really special day to me! I guess I'll just call you then and you're going to have to come over a day early. It's not fair for you to steal Christmas from Christmas and you deserve a day to celebrate you. That's final. It's the end of one year and the time to look forward to a better future Teej! And besides it's an excuse to party and get a little drunk, I don't see what's not to like! I guess I won't expect you then, but I'll hope you at least try to relax for the holiday. It was still an accident! And nice to see you care about me. I promise nothing like that will happen again TeeJ, I mean it.
Certainly. It's been making me uneasy... Although I suppose it could be worse.
Love, Dad
P.S. LIES! I TOTALLY TOTALLY KNEW THAT!

Dear California, My apologies, I did not mean to allow such a long period of time pass before I returned your letter. ...Or miss Christmas. I hope that I was not missed, I had completely forgotten to come. But I have passed your greetings on to Houdini and he seemed quite happy. Sincerely, State of Iowa Timothy James "T.J." Jones TJ, Its okay hermano! Im really sorry for missing this letter- and Easter and st.patricks day-too. You were still missed, of course, because you're our brother! Not many states showed up though~I'm glad! Love, Alexis

Dear Father,
Of course it bothers me. You're talking about someone managing to be a convincing-enough fake-you to even fool your fiancée. That is very worrisome, but as I have already stated I am glad that you have taken care of the situation.
But that still means that most is not true, Father. The fact that you seem to believe even a little bit that if I continue my way of life as it has essentially been for over a hundred years, I will begin to use my spade not as a farming tool but as a means to slice my siblings and innocent civilians into little pieces while laughing manically is a bit insulting. But yes, Father, I understand that killing my siblings is a 'big no-no'. ...Oh my God, Father, I am not possessed by a deranged spirit who is attempting to have me kill all of humanity, including all nations, in order to create the ultimate solitude! And you really think you're keeping as sharp an eye on me as you believe, Father? I live in the middle of nowhere, unless you've been hijacking military satellites and bugging my house again Big Brother is not as knowledgeable as he likes to believe. ...Though why the hell would your men be sending themselves to spy on me? I don't have the most interesting life, I work, eat, sleep, and do some idle things on the side. That's it. Father, it is not the idea that this is enjoyable the same way reading a book is, but I just prefer to talk this way as opposed to any of the other shit my siblings attempt to pass off as English. ...If you say so.
...Father, you-- No, I am not even going to get into that discussion. You know that I do not like celebrating my birthday with the siblings and you still plan a huge party that you know I always try to avoid. ...Steal Christmas from Christmas...? I...do not understand. How is simply receiving a 'Happy late Birthday' and one extra gift for that 'stealing Christmas...from Christmas?' So...now you are saying I have to come up for Christmas Eve to celebrate my birthday instead...? ...I see. I don't particularly like getting drunk with the others, Father. It...It is not as fun for me as you seem to think, so there is no reason to celebrate the New Year if that is all there is to it. ...Of course I care about you, Father. You are my father, after all, and even if you are a bit...childish sometimes I still always care. I know it will not, Father. My animals are smart enough not to eat anything you give them anymore, just in case. Houdini has taught them well.
Sincerely, TJ
P.S. ...Of course you did. How could I ever doubt you?

Dear Alexis,
It is absolutely no problem, please do not worry. I am busy as well, and...surprisingly happy to be receiving a letter at all, to be perfectly honest. So, how have you been, Alexis?
Sincerely, TJ

Dear Colette,
...Well, I do not particularly like nicknames, to be honest, Colette. I have told you this many times in the past already, could you please just...stick with TJ, or even call me by my proper name? ...Unfortunately, Colette, you are not the State of Awesome. Life in Iowa is fine, quite nice, to be honest. ...No, it is not boring. Just because many of us do not enjoy making fools of ourselves in front of strangers does not mean we live boring lives. If I do party is none of your concern though, sister dear. So kindly keep your advice to yourself.
Sincerely, Timothy

TEEJ!
It's not hard to be a convincing fake when you're writing such a short letter. And one that's bound to leave you stunned and reeling emotionally. Thinking rationally about if it sounds like them isn't going to be the first thing on your mind. Really he wasn't a good fake at all. Just an ass, but yeah... taken care of.... let's just... drop it.
Fine, fine... I guess maybe you aren't about to go off your rocker and start killing us all in a fit of madness... but that doesn't mean I'm not prepared in case it ever does happen! That or the zombie Apocalypse! And that's just what someone possessed by a deranged spirit would say! But I guess I'll trust you... because...uh... you still sound like T.J... I have access to many many things! And ok.... so I might have a little, but c'mon bud I worry about you. You think I control everything they do? Wow! That would be neat! But the suits don't really listen to me a lot. And why wouldn't they spy on you. You're a state... Well I didn't mean enjoyable quite in that sense and your siblings speak English just fine! Well... ok... maybe some of them could use a little work... BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!
But you're supposed to celebrate it! And your siblings like being able to see you sometimes! You don't understand? Christmas is a holiday for Christmas. It's got it's own special symbolism so having a birthday celebration then is taking away from the celebration of both special things. And it could never be something that small! It has to be bigger because YOUR BIRTHDAY IS SPECIAL! Yes that is what I'm saying. Besides it would be nice to have you here a bit longer, kiddo.
You seriously need to get out and loosen up a little more Teej. I'm not saying do it all the time, but getting drunk every once in a while can be fun and if you don't want to get drunk.... well it takes a lot to get drunk for us so you can still party and have drinks and have fun! You poor little dude. You just don't get it. Still... ya'know it's nice to hear it from you sometimes buddy.... That's... probably a good thing despite how horrible it is...
Love, Dad
P.S. YES! That's right! How could you ever doubt me! SHAME ON YOU! I KNOW THINGS!

Dear Father,
I see... Well, it still depends solely on what was actually being said, in my opinion. Even if it was meant to be stunning and emotionally hurtful the word-choice would give away if it was actually you or not. But yes, if you are uncomfortable with it we will no longer discuss it.
...That is not very comforting, Father. It is in fact a bit insulting. Do you really think that I do not have enough control of my temper that you have to prepare for the day that I attempt to destroy the world? ...Father, you really do know how to try my patience. It makes me wonder whether I am the elder of the two of us most days I am not possessed by a deranged ghost and of course I sound like myself. I am myself. Why on Earth would you worry about me? I have the sixth lowest unemployment rate in the Nation, and the people in my capital are ranked the second happiest. There is nothing to worry about. ...And simply being a state gives them no right to spy on me! What the hell are those bastards thinking?! If they want something interesting I will give them something interesting. Like a trip to the hospital, they can learn how all the equipment works. ...Then what was the point, exactly?
...No they do not, Father. They like seeing me on the family holidays, but none of them would actively seek me out for companionship and you know it. ...So what would you say to those who were born on Christmas, Father? Anyway, I do not see what the hassle is. Simply a happy birthday would be quite fine, really. ...Even if it is a 'special day', Father, I do not like spending extended time with my siblings, especially the ones who use the celebration only as an excuse to drink. ...you say that now, Father, but when it comes down to it I know we wouldn't be spending much time together at all, so what is the point?
... Look. I do not like to drink with most of my siblings. I do not like to spend time with most of my siblings. I don't even like most of my siblings and the feeling is quite mutual, I am sure. I can loosen up just fine when I am not dealing with...them. There have been times in the past when some of the more southern of my siblings asked if I was a separate nation and whether I speak Iowanese and had to learn English as a second language. So no, it is not fun for me to spend time with them, alright?! ...I shouldn't have to say it, Alfred Jones. You are my father, my love is unconditional, even if I don't always show it. And it is not just you. I have them trained to not accept food from anyone without my permission.
Sincerely, TJ
P.S. ...Of course. My apologies, Father.

Dear Bro,
Uh okay then what would you rather me call you then? And actually, I just got over some sort o flu. Knocked me right on my ass and I still feel pretty bad. I'm hoping I get over it soon ya know? it just sucks being sick especially because I'm behind on just about everything.
I love spring. Its unusually hot which makes it somewhat warm enough to swim sometimes. Other than that, the whether is just about nice enough to do anything really. How nice has it been down there?
All my loving,
Chris

Dear Timothy,
Aye, yes at least one thing.
Yeah, makes me sick ta see him win. That's the issue of having two teams, ya know, which one do ya root for? I try ta root for both, but then they play each other. The Cubs also haven't won a World Series than longer than a century. A lot of people in Chicago believe that there is a curse on the team. Sometimes I even root for Missouri, I like his team a little even though I won't admit it ta him. Tell me about it, she gets way competitive. She does get pretty violent, doesn't she... Ah, no, I'm not sure ya did. It's really no trouble.
-Daniel
