Subj:Your recent memo

Dear Ms. Budge: The Undersecretary thanks you for your concern in this matter and assures you that she has every bit of confidence in you to do your job in such a manner that would make your government proud.

Sincerely yours,

When this is all over, if you ever get up to NYC, let’s me and you meet up at the Cubbyhole. Ladies only, my lady.

—Devil
