Mr. Paul Mostyn to Miss Benita Staveley:

"My Dearest Ben,

"I have been a very long time in resorting to 'The Beck and Call' for assistance; but now I have a real need. Will you go to the best Bond Street jewellers and buy a ring regardless of cost? It is a wedding present for one I am very fond of. Choose it as though it were for yourself.

"I am,
"Your devoted,
"Uncle Paul"
