My dear Governor:
No matter what you do with your fur coat I promise you that, while I am Collector of Customs here, you will have no inconvenience or difficulty, for I have heard a distinct distant report that you are a law-abiding citizen. And this is at least one rumor in which I am willing to place at least temporary credence!
I do hope I may see you before you go. And you must promise that, when you are coming back, you will send me either a letter or a wireless, in order that we may be on hand to welcome you.
