This statement is true. Icarus describes a "mishap" in the toilets in which his neck tie got caught in the zipper of his pants. He was able to free himself with help from Kevin Connors, however we know that Icarus was in fact hurt because he refers both to his minor injuries as well as bloodstains on his trousers. The term "bathroom" is synonymous with "toilet" in US English.
This statement is true. Icarus specifies that he wants to meet Ruby at 7:45 pm sharp. When the term "sharp" is used to describe a specific time of day, it means "exactly" or precisely'.
This statement is true. Icarus begins his message by excusing himself for the delay in writing to Ruby. In the morning he was busy with "accounting obligations" and in the early afternoon he hurt himself while in the toilets.
