Being the reply left for the intriguing Mr. Alexander Endicott at the Swallows Nest
Mr. Alex,
I have returned from my excursion. Things in Portland took rather longer to settle than expected but the weather was fine for the travelling. Except I ought not ramble on here or else I might have nothing to say in the event you seek to call on me again in the hopes I might actually be in town to receive said call. So I will end this by saying indications are I am not going to leave town for a while and would enjoy to see you again.
