Some people will do anything for a handout. Text from the letter: "2nd January 1882, Dear Mr. Gogh, I would like to once again congratulate you for accepting a place at our school. Following your recent follow up interview, I am writing in regards to your application for a disability bursary. Firstly, I would just like to say that I hope your recovery is going well, and I’m glad to hear that you’re back on your feet. In terms of your application for monetary aid, I am pleased to inform you that it has been successful. As you may already know, the awarding body for said bursary is the Disabled Students Allowance. Expect to receive your itinerary of payments in the post soon. Alongside this financial assistance is your enrolment in Fenestra, a disability centre that provides tailor-made workshops to aid you in both your course and personal life. One of Fenestra’s advisors will be in touch soon, but if you feel the need to contact them earlier the address is provided below.
