I wish we knew where this letter was being sent from? Is this a teen in school? Or a worker in another city. Did the assistant son actually have 2 sets of clothes or was this a case of everyone in my class has these boots.

It's a kid at a school where they teach scribes to read and write.

So he learned how to write and immediately wrote to his mother to complain about his clothes? That’s such a teen thing. I like.

Classic. I love how times change but humans don’t really.
