The "my father" bit doesn't bug me... well, because he was his father, and it makes sense. Also, I think it's good that he acknowledges when something is "scrawled" or something like that as opposed to written in a good copy which would probably be more "official" than a little note on a scrap of paper. But when CRT starts listing drafts A, B,C, D, etc. it drives me crazy because I can never remember which is which!
Oh well, let's not be mean to CRT, he has after all brought us the Sil and HoME and so many wonderful things.
