My dear Whistler
Your runes are dark enough to fill one with a vain regret - I must not brood over them.
As for the question of nationality I have not been invited to retouch it and I keep [p. 2] my twang. If you should hear anything to the contrary, please state that there was no such transaction and that I am an American.
With kind regards from the Abbeys[3]
Yours sincerely
John S Sargent
