I have a proposition for you, related to the committee on voting reform, which I'm sure you've already heard about.* If you're inclined to discuss the matter over tea you are welcome to pay a call on any upcoming weekend to my Mayfair address; you were so kind as to host during our last conversation so it seems appropriate for me to repay the favor even if you aren't interested in the committee seat. I promise not to poison you.

The committee convenes (if everything goes to plan) in January, and I expect you would find the experience most engaging. Either things will go well and you'll be in the middle of interesting conversations, or things will go poorly and you'll be able to eviscerate some poor fools who ended up out of their depth despite my best efforts at screening them. Either way, I believe you'll enjoy yourself. And maybe by the end of it you'll have the vote.

Eager to hear your thoughts.
