      Nowhere in the letter do the writers express a desire to know what is going on with the recipient; they do not wish to listen, learn, or truly befriend. They seem, above all, to want compliance. They want butts in pews, or at least the coronatide equivalent.

      Charles Butler's remarks in The Principles of Musik that "a Singing-man neede never fear the Astma, Peripneumonia, or Consumption: or any other like affections of that vital part: which ar the death of many students," seems particularly apt advice for the current Coronatide—an incentive perhaps for us all to sing more, even if we are stuck at home.
