Dear Gilbert,

Thank you for your letter and permission.1 It was a great pleasure seeing you. I am sending herewith a little book of silly stories2 which may amuse you. I remember that you committed a youthful indiscretion by a story about the Gobi Desert,3 and I thought the time had come to imitate you.

Yours ever,
B.R.
