Idunn,

Lady Luck has truly smiled on you! Would that I had such good fortune on my last shopping trip. In light of our long-standing friendship, I shall refrain from mentioning any lingering jealousy in regards to your recent purchase, and simply thank you for the invitation.

I would, naturally, be delighted to come examine this clearly superior volume with you at your leisure. We do not have much planned until the first of September, so I will be available at your convenience. I look forward to seeing you, as always. Until that time comes,



Vive valeque,
