As a side note, upon rereading this letter, I found out that John Doerr's remark on Mike Moritz can be interpreted as a way to trade verbal barbs obscurely. The background of such remark was in 2008's VC summit or something like that, and both Mike and John were invited to ask questions to each other. Mike, later on knowing for disliking noble descendants with names with roman numbers (which can be inferred in his book Leading), asked how John got his III in his name. Which is why John specifically focused on praising Mike's command of language.
That being said we can all agree that Mike's command of language is indeed first class.
