My dear Comrade
Judging from your expression there seems to be some doubt as to whether the result is going to be satisfactory to you. As for myself, I must have felt it necessary to pull a little for you. You will note my position -- my right hand patting my knee! This may not be the proper attitude for France but it is entirely natural for a Culpeperian. I particularly like the position of your cane -- your left arm is akimbo and your opera-glass case rests on your left side a la piquancy.
I have heard you speak of glorious days at Saratoga but I would like for you to take this picture along with you to let your friends know that at Longchamp you were in stake class!
I am told by good authority - “HBS” - that they can’t run true to form over here without “jurisprudence” - and lots of it. Wishing you good luck,
Faithfully yours,
CTG
