"I'm really embarassed. Here you send me for these drawings cheques for amounts far in excess of what I would have charged if you had the discretion to wait until I got up courage to send you a bill."
McBey also thanks Kynett for the "fantastic basket of the most astounding fruits", which he also felt was far too generous.
