My dear John,

It is the real thing, and it kep me reading far into the night. "Dogson" in inimitable and I only hope that fate will dispose of his wife and that, like his illustrious ancestor, he will beget a son in his old age and maintain the breed. It was a daring conception and the book will delight numberless readers. Very many thanks. I am proud to

possess a copy with your inscription.

Ever yours
