The Confession

 

 

On a manual typewriter, like the one used to write this letter, all characters use the same width, regardless of their visual size. There is no kerning. A capitalized "M" or "W" takes up the same amount of width as an "I" or even "." (a period,) or " " (a space,) or "_ " (an underline.) The blank line typed at the beginning of this letter is 19 characters long. Allowing for one space after the word "BY," the remaining 18 widths are exactly enough space to put in the name BRUCEMCGREGORDAVIS.
