Chapter II

_Aubrey Aston to the Editor._
_Laburnam Rise, Hornsey._
_May 8th._

DEAR MR. EDITOR,--Thanks for your note. I cannot help feeling that you were to some extent influenced by your knowledge of the fact that I had never been near the West Coast. I hope, however, to visit the White Man's Grave shortly and will possibly let you have some stuff from the spot.

Yours,
A. A.
