Count Von McArthur has honored me by allowing me to give this letter the finishing touches, I will first suggest that you put your head out of the door and see if his Nibs "S.O.S.S." is coming down the stairs or perhaps he has fainted again.
I can think of nothing to say, but before I close I will tell you that we have been sitting by the fire for the last two hours eating cake and candy so will just enclose a teaney-weaney bit for yourself.
With kindest regards from the "Count" and "Tino" and wishing you a very happy New Year and hoping this finds you well and happy, as I am glad to say it leaves the both of us.
Sincerely Yours Gregory T. Yorke
