United at last! Wish you could make it a trio! We're on a high cliff washed by the foam that has known the soundless domes & weedy gardens of Atlantis! Yr. Obt Servant, HPL
The Donald Wandrei notation reads:
Dear Clark: I'll write in a day or two. Am having the most magnificent time, and regret only that you aren't here to share it. Like the birds, I could cry" Thalatta! Thalatta!" I have been royally entertained by Son Belknap, George, and now the greatest enemy of Babylon. As ever, Donald.
