Dear Miss Beauregard,

I admit I am glad to find I am not the only one of this disposition. My sisters often chastise me for what they find in lacking in my skills. I, however, believe there is something to be said for observation and not words all the time.

Was there any particular tale in your book that had captured your attention? I am familiar with tales from my childhood, but not those from around the world.I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the book. It was the least I could do to help.

Recently I read something by Mark Twain, it was quite enjoyable, especially as I have had little experience with the world across the Pond. It made me wonder what it might be like over there as opposed to here. Perhaps one day I shall be adventurous enough to venture there myself.

Upon your recommendation I have begun A Study in Scarlet. So far I have hardly been able to put it down and suspect that I shall soon have finished it and will be on the hunt for a new book all too soon. Perhaps I shall have to employ a collection of short stories once I have finished it.

Sincerely
Mr. P. Adlard
