Dear Captain Folger,
Proofs of the photos enclosed.
Considering the state of agressive inebriation in which unfortunately you chose to appear, we feel we have produced a praiseworthy result.
Trusting to be favoured with you continued support,
We are,
Yours very truly,
The Alley Metamorphosis Co.
Secretary.
