Dear Ilah:

The Museum forwards me your announcements (I enlisted at the beginning of August) and it doesn't seem quite fair perhaps to neglect to tell you that I'm not around in your part of the world these days. Though I'm always glad to see what you're doing, and your latest, the Hawkins, sounds most interesting.

Your announcement of the Hawkins, though, strikes me as being one of the finest bits of typography I've seen in many a day. If you can spare a minute, I wish you'd tell me about it - who did the job for you, what's the name of the type, what makes it look as though done on a hand press? 

All good greetings to you.
