I wrote him a letter today and I hope you will be able to persuade him to allow me this little talk. We laughed at your description of the old four poster bed. I like old furniture but I am afraid of beds on which many generations slept dreamed and may be died. A spook may visit me in the night and may be even a crowd of them. However, if you do not mind such apparitions, you are all right.” In fine condition, with a light erased pencil notation to the upper right corner.
