Dear Mr. Sloan:

It has come to my attention that you have called my lady friend
Tatjana, "a professional street prostitute, clear from
reading the article."

Let's take both parts of your vile, utterly false accusation.
"professional street prostitute". Tatjana is a hard working woman, who
has three jobs. She does traditional Ukrainian massage (and I'll spell
this out for you in short words, that means it is not a sex massage);
she is an artist's impresario; she also sews sweaters to make ends
meet. She is a widow; her late husband was a famous juggler who
performed around Europe and North Africa. After his sudden death two
years before I met her, she did not have any romantic relationship
with another man until she met me. She has never in her life had sex
for money.

You say it is clear she is a "street prostitute" from reading the
article. What does the article say? "Tatjana was just two years a
widow, a Ukrainian adrift in Hungary, a wonderfully fierce masseuse, a
sharp intellect with a deep love of culture."

To take that clear description and get "street prostitute" out of it
is beyond reason.

Furthermore, my article relates how she goes out with me, knowing I
don't have a cent to my name (now there's an unusual prostitute!) and
even more, hesitates to even receive a kiss!

The article is very clear that she is a wonderful woman, a high class
woman in every respect.

Your vile accusation says a lot about your own sick mind, and nothing
at all about Tatjana.

I dare you and double dare you to call my lady friend a "street
prostitute" to my face. Sincerely,

Timothy Taylor
