The letter announced that my dear friend, Jerry Wombat, would be inJerry WombatCountry tomorrow and would be stopping by for a brief stay. While you may consider it uncouth to invite one’s self to stay with a friend, let us remember two facts:

a.) Jerry is Australian.

b.) Jerry is a Wombat.

We also both served Her Majesty together in the regimental corps, so he has carte blanche to stay with me ANY time he desires!

Note to self: stock up on the following for tomorrow’s dinner:

  • 12 cabbages
  • 7 unlined boxes
  • 40 bottles sherry, champagne, and port
  • 6 pheasants
  • Bushel of carrots, one-half of broccoli
  • Cherry torte

What a delight! Old chums are simply the best!
