Dear Morgan,

If ever I wish to become famous I shall employ you as my Publicity Agent.

I thought Lefèvre's article was very entertaining. Obviously, his remark about your being "déchaîné" was due to the double grog which you consumed before dinner. I conclude that even if you were not what he said, he felt that you jolly well ought to have been after you had added a couple of pints of Vierschbohle to the Apertif.

Yours sincerely,
