Secondly he refers to Nathanial Wilson as "Nate Wilson". I don't know Pastor Booker but for a conservative that seems like a very informal and personal reference to a fellow pastor in a public letter. I would have thought he would have used his full name.
Of course I coudl be wrong. LB could just be a poor writer or not taken time to craft a better letter and pehaps everybody calls Pastor Wilson "Nate" in formal correspondance.

Good points. It is possible that he didn't take the time because it might not have been truly "formal" but rather a note of explanation to somebody questioning him about the meeting in Tulsa...which might also explain why he calls Nathaniel Wilson "Nate"...after all, the letter does use the phrase "You're a Good Man" as if the letter was intended to be sent to one single person rather than passed along to an entire body of ministers. Perhaps in private correspondence he feels comfortable enough to refer to Bro. Wilson as Nate. This would explain why the letter is not as well crafted as it might be.
Or he could've not written it, and this is somebody's idea of a joke.
