April 5th, 1888

Dear Miss Beauregard,

I am sorry to hear you have been well. I hope you have been resting in the meantime and are feeling much better by now. Hopefully we shall have spring like weather to keep you feeling well for the next few months. I admit, I rather hate hearing when you are unwell.

Doyle was quite a good read and I suspect I will join the crowds crowing his popularity as I do look forward to his next work. I have started a rather dry work on the care of magical creatures in America, however, I could use something to pair with it. There is always that one book that needs a friend to be read at the same time to simply get through it. I rather think a collection of fairy tales is just the thing to keep me alternating between the two and would be more than obliged to accept your offer. I shall keep an eye out specially for Miss Thumblina and her stories. As there anything in particular that made those your favorite?

As much as I love your offer, Miss Beauregard, I shall soon find myself with little to no reason to visit the library. I shall have to visit when I take you up on your next offer, for I feel rather remiss in my own visits to such a calming location.

Sincerely
Mr. P. Adlard
