never dedicated one to you. What will be the verdict of Posterity on
this? The fact is, I have become rather superstitious about
dedications. No sooner do you label a book with the legend--

TO MY
BEST FRIEND
X

than X cuts you in Piccadilly, or you bring a lawsuit against him.
There is a fatality about it. However, I can't imagine anyone
quarrelling with you, and I am getting more attractive all the time,
so let's take a chance.

Yours ever,

P. G. WODEHOUSE.
