    Dear Kitson

    Happy voyage to you
    — and me too.

    May your lecture be [illegible 1 word]
    Your enjoyment long
    Your audience well taught
    Your evidence strong
    One tip I will give you but take it, [you] [wont]
    Have a bottle— [perhaps] two
    [of wont so if you don't].

    [illegible 1 word]
