To the Porter of Observatory Mansions.

My dear Porter,

I am sorry not to be referring to you in a more personal manner, but I discovered as I sat down to write this note that I never learnt your name. Forgive me.

I am exceedingly sorry for all the mess, personal effects, clothes, etc., that I have left for you to clear up. I fear it shall be you who performs this task. I enclose a banknote for your pains. Forgive me.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Bugg

To the resident of flat twenty.

Dear friend,

Alas you have no name yet, but I have great confidence that you will remember it soon. I enclose a limited, but I think helpful, bilingual dictionary for you. I leave a list of phone numbers of police stations in your land. When you call these numbers I am sure that you will be aided in your pursuit. I have no doubt that you will soon be yourself again.

With my warmest regards and best wishes,

Peter Bugg

(This letter was later translated by Anna Tap, word by word, using Peter Bugg’s old dictionary.)
