“Dear Miss Greene—I am only writing you because it is necessary that I make a contact with someone close to Miss van Zelden.

I am a private inquiry agent employed by Mr. van Zelden for the purpose of keeping near Miss van Zelden and maintaining some sort of protective influence. You will know her aptitude for making strange friends and seeking thrills and excitement which are not always conducive to her safety.

I have contacted a servant at the Carlton and it seems that Miss van Zelden has disappeared. I have also contacted two other men, one of whom purports to be an investigator to an insurance society which carries Miss van Zelden’s jewellery insurance.

At the instigation of these people I am going down to the Isle of Mersea as they tell me that Miss van Zelden is there.

But candidly, I am not quite satisfied in my mind. I feel that a closer check should in future be kept on Miss van Zelden’s movements, and I propose when I return from this journey to contact you and, with your help, to maintain a closer watch on Miss van Zelden in the future. I am relying on your assistance and help because you know that this is what her father would desire you to do.

Naturally you will say nothing of this to Miss van Zelden who objects strongly to any sort of surveillance.

I shall therefore get into touch with you almost as soon as you receive this. If I do not contact you by midnight on the day of the receipt of this letter then you may take it that something serious has happened and I would like you to telephone at once to Scotland Yard the English Police headquarters and after showing them this letter request their assistance.

I am, Yours truly,

Robert Gallat.”
