Dear Leaderā€™s Labor Camp, in scenic North Korea.

I wouldnā€™t encourage girls _or_ boys to learn to box. [Boxing is a dangerous sport](http://menshealth.about.com/od/fitness/a/boxing.htm), and lots of boxers end up with brain damage. ---

Iā€™ve got 10 minutes to get ready, and he told me to bring a rope, donā€™t know what thatā€™s about. Iā€™ll write again as soon as I can, Bobby\* ---
