I must admit I was rather surprised to find this letter waiting for me, though I find myself flattered all the same. Your presumptions are correct! It is of interest to me, and I do happen to know about it! One of the organizers happens to be a good friend of mine. You would, again, be correct - the size refrences to the event rather than the animals - a good note to pass on however, as I'd not thought of that myself.

Given the previous statements, I would be most delighted to make your suggested time of one o'clock! I look forward to perhaps meeting in a less tangled setting, though I may be speaking too soon given the nature of the event.


Oh and I do apologize for the bite marks around the parchment, Pascal had a fit and refused to give me my roll of parchment back.
