Letter from Richard Greenbriar

A letter from Richard Greenbriar regarding his son's book The Accidental Saviour can be found in the basement. Terrence had sent his father a copy of the then-newly published novel, presumably hoping to receive a positive response. Instead, Richard wrote bluntly that though he congratulated his son's first publication, the quality of Terrence's writing could be better.

Transcript
Dear Terrence,

''Thank you for sending along a copy of your newly published book. An author's first published manuscript is a momentous occasion. I read it this afternoon.''

''I certainly recognized my son in the subject matter. An author's work is the externalization of that which he holds dear (and that which he fears), and in this respect I believe your work was successful.''

''But the lens through which the personal shone was needlessly clouded by genre cliches and implausible dimestore science-fictional dei ex machina. The great authors speak of their life's milieu in clear and honest tones, the lens crystal that refracts their thoughts without distortion.''

''I congratulate you on surviving the great ordeal that is publication, and rest assured that readers of your chosen genre will lap up copies hungrily. But I urge you to shed artifice.''

You can do better.

With a father's love and encouragement,

Richard Greenbriar, Ph.D

Location
The letter is found in the basement's storage area. It is taped to the back of a copy of The Accidental Saviour, on top of a small circular table. The letter will not be visible initially since the book is facing up. The player must pick up the book and turn it around.

Trivia

 * It can be assumed that Richard sent his copy of The Accidental Saviour back to Terrence, since the letter is taped to the back of the book.
 * After examining the book and by extension the letter, Kaitlin (and the player) will always put the book back down with the letter's side facing up.
