I wasn't told any details, but I wanted, of course, like enormously to work on a story for you. Could we meet anywhere? Or would you drop me a line? I'll be at this address.</B></I>” Thomas also inscribed “<I>Laugharne 69</B></I>” - his new phone number - above the letter's body. Very fine condition with a bold, perfectly legible inscription.
