Your epistolarian output has a charming candour that is heartfelt. Your letters have a Victorian glow to them; Victorian in the best meaning of the term, not in the dated sense. They have that period touch of erudition that today is erroneously brushed away as quaintly obsolete, but to me is not so,but is evocative of better years of yore and times long gone before when an Englishman was an Englishman and a pound was a pound. Your letters ,in short capture that something that is now, alas and alack lost. I could say sometimes they are overwhelming, marmalade on beefsteak, but that is rare ,and a possible defect if we must have one.
Dearest Sid,
Yes indeed. You shall be remembered for your epistolatory literature. Honestly, and without flattery, you're the best letter writer I know after GBS.
