The one with the horrid poem that reminds us that Mike defines loving him as allowing him to drift through life in a fog where he doesn't have to do anything to justify his existence.
We have to remember something he doesn't: what his going loopy because the guys would laugh taught her about writing letters. He'll never realize it but being a great big jerk about a made-up catastrophe gave her the wrong idea about letters.
The obligation to write a return letter seems to have been of the utmost importance to Mike to the point where he was willing to destroy a relationship because of it. He's like a boy gone to war during WWII.
Well, it was pretty obvious at the time that Martha was playing to Mike's monster ego. I am not sure it was real praise.
