Congratulations on receiving the Red Star of Comrade Lenin! (third division)

I wish you well in your work with the 237th Commune for Culture & Civilisation.(Australia certainly needs your efforts!)

Do you also get the bound works of Comrade Gorki as a prize for your great achievements?

On another topic Comrade Bartelby, I looked up your name on Google and found this:
The most unusual character in the story is Bartleby, a man of [such] singularly sedate an aspect. When Bartleby first arrives to work at the law firm, he [does] an extraordinary quantity of writing. As if long famishing for something to copy, he seemed to gorge himself on my documents. There was no pause for digestion. Bartleby uncontrollably consumes his duties showing his desperation and excessive thirst for work."

Relative of yours?

Oh no! Not more! I would be much obliged for a translation. Would that happen to be Latin? If yes, are/were you a Latin schoolmaster?

Would you mind also translating the following:

This is going to be tough. And you thought “163” was “so stage left, its outside the theatre!”. At least I didn’t use Roman Numerals. “Lol”
