To Peter;

I hope you haven’t got a copy of this already – I met 2 of my friends whilst buying it + they still won’t believe it wasn’t for me – Happy birthday + Happy reading!!

Love Sally x.

[NB: the corner of page 76 (above) is turned over. This is either marking the end of Chapter XI (sic) and a verse detailing the “congress of a crow” (don’t ask) or the start of Chapter X: OF THE WAY HOW TO BEGIN AND HOW TO END THE CONGRESS. DIFFERENT KINDS OF CONGRESS AND LOVE QUARRELS. Whether either of these had anything to do with book ending up in a second-hand bookshop we can but speculate. WG.]
