Owl from Jack Randall to Delilah Patil, 12 Sept 1942...
Though securely warded, the wards show signs of being hastily applied:
Dear Lilah,
I'm terribly sorry, but I won't be able to make it on Sunday. I've just run into an old friend who had news of the person we discussed yesterday - seems he might not be dead after all.
I've met Alvaro Benedetto's daughter, by the way, and judging by the way people were talking you may be wrong about there being nothing unusual about her.
I'm sure you have lots of questions but at this point so do I. I hope to have more answers by the time I see you again.
Yours,
Jack
