October 21, 2022, 6:30 p.m. Dear Laura, Just before leaving to the airport to fly to Paris, Nathaniel brought me a container of dry oatmeal with the explanation that Klemens and you would drive to Connecticut to attend Letty McPhedran's Memorial Service on Oct 22, 2022 10:30 AM. Klemens, on the other hand, has provided me with an itinerary to the effect that he will be in Florida, scheduled to leave Tampa on JetBlue 0592 departing at 03:40 PM. From these inconsistent circumstances, I infer that you may be planning to drive to Connecticut tomorrow morning, October 22. I write to invite you to send the dog to stay at 174 School Street during your possible absence in Connecticut. If you choose to accept my invitation, you should: a) before you leave, take the dog for his morning walk, b) then let the dog into the kitchen at 174 School Street. He will find his way upstairs as he is accustomed. c) as soon as you return from Connecticut, retrieve the dog from 174 School Street to take him for his afternoon walk. I hope that this is helpful, and if you go to Connecticut, I wish you a safe and comfortable trip. Jochen
