An Open Book

N,

I sincerely apologize for disturbing you with this inelegant method of communication, but I simply must request that you loan me those discourses as soon as possible. I'm happy to pass on Netchurch's results in fair exchange; truth be told, I'd value your opinion on them. The results are...unsettling. Certain parallels are drawn that you may find objectionable, and in truth I would appreciate a voice willing to debunk them. The doctor is...meticulous, and thus far I haven't managed to find a loophole. Pay particular attention to his second experiment and you'll know why I'm so uncharacteristically eager to get my hands on those discourses.

Let us descend into the blind world,

V.

P.S - Malcolm went back, the fool. Hargraven must be spinning in his sepulcher.

V,

Permit me to express a certain amusement at your impatience - but, of course, they are quite remarkable. You might arrange for one of your ghouls to pick them up: that is, if you trust such an inelegant creature with the task.
Meticulous Netchurch may be, my dear, but let us not forget he is still quite mad. I have no doubts that his method is sound; it is his approach to his research that intrigues and, indeed, confuses me. If he has any flaw, it lies in his blinkered attitude. Still, I will draw no conclusions until I have thoroughly perused the notes myself. As to Malcolm - the folly of youth. Let us merely hope there is something left to be learned from his experience.

Never long before we shall speak,

N.

p.s. I must thank you for setting M to paint those shelves - saved me a great deal of time and bother. It seems that ignorant fledglings do retain some use.
