William F. Buckley Jr.
-- Dear Bill: I delighted in your long-ago [see below] letter about vevelleity. I've never in my life put that horse in harness, and you were hitching it to an incomprehensible sentence 22 years ago! These days, like Good Old Joe, I have a twitchy moribund velleity to get out of bed in the morning, i.e., a desire unconsummated because of insufficient resolution.
Do you limit collision to the meeting of two moving bodies? The authorities appear to be divided, but as always, your word is final.
Affectionately,
Kilpo
