Your kind words are very welcome, and I will take your excellent advice to heart at my earliest opportunity to visit my local lending library.

I am so glad to hear you enjoyed your visit with Mrs. Gillmore and Miss Westabrook. I have been wondering if you would care to be introduced to a Miss Patricia Fairfield. I first met her in the summer of 1906 while she was on a tour of Long Island in one of those new fangled automobiles.

I enclose further particulars, and remain in your debt.
