![Screenshot of a translation of this 4,000 letter, linked within the quote-skeeted article and reading as follows:
"Tell the Lady Zinu: Iddin-Sin sends the following message:
May the gods Samas, Marduk, and Ilabrat keep you forever in
good health for my sake.
From year to year, the clothes of the (young) gentlemen here
become better, but you let my clothes get worse from year to
year. Indeed, you persisted(?) in making my clothes poorer and
more scanty. At a time when in our house wool is used up like
bread, you have made me poor clothes. The son of Adad-iddinam,
whose father is only an assistant of my father, (has) two new sets
of clothes [break] while you fuss even about a single set of clothes
for me. In spite of the fact that you bore me and his mother only
adopted him, his mother loves him, while you, you do not love
me!"

![Snippets from a 2014 Globe & Mail Article:
Justice Minister Peter MacKay has appointed two of the country's most conservative law professors as judges in Ontario, one of whom has publicly criticized the court he is about to join.
Reaction to the appointment from the legal community was varied. A Toronto criminal lawyer was upset, saying the government has ignored excellent lawyers for years for Ontario appeal court positions. (The lawyer did not wish to be named, expecting some day to appear before the new judges.) A senior judicial source, who also did not wish to be named, was also critical. "If you were trying to identify the leading constitutional scholars of the far right, you'd probably have Grant Huscroft at the top of the list," the source said, calling him "anti-Charter [of Rights] and basically, anti-equality rights."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bumu6s332o24fppobse7j3ms/bafkreihcanadfplqxeycuf6fkd5rpbzq5mnbb2qmvbletycnuno6wzrwsi)
