Geoffrey–
As you know, old chap, I’ve been out of town visiting the kinfolk in parts remote and mending a few electroplasmic fences in the process. Imagine my mingled surprise and alarm to find a parcel awaiting my attention ere I alighted the railway carriage and returned to my modest dwelling! I cannot say when this arrived with any precision (with my usual fortune, had I delayed departure a few hours I might have had it with me!) but here it is. It proved to be a tome of some mutual interest. I enclose a hasty sketch of the cover. Something to discuss over a proper round or two of drinks at the club, eh?
With all due respect and deepest regards,
Jerome Woodbrygg-Peckham
