I hope this letter finds you well since our last meeting. I, too, very much enjoyed our stroll and do hope to have such an opportunity in the future. My apologies for any inconvenience to your maid, but I certainly hope she did enjoy herself and will join us on such a stroll again.

Your conversation has prompted me to purchase a book on the history of Greece, although, I know I shall never rival your knowledge in the subject I do hope to converse more on the subject the next time our paths meet. I do admit that the book is quite interesting and has been keeping the boredom of off season well at bay for the moment. Perhaps you might recommend another book for me to pursue when I finish this one?

I am glad to hear that someone has employed your services. While I can't say I am terribly interested in plants I would love to hear about what this gentleman has written of the culture in India. For your sake I am glad that his notes seem in decent shape.

Apollo quite enjoyed the treats, more so than my fingers I am happy to report. I do believe he was aware of what he was carrying as he waited for me to open them before he left.

Most sincerely,
