The Society for Science & Exploration

From the members of the High Tundra Expedition of the Society, I wish to extend the warmest of grat. & greet. to P., our most excellent host on the recent excursion. Our lamentable lack of reportage must not be construed as a pronouncement of any kind; it has been our demanding task to entertain, dine & wine certain eminences of the Far Reaches, and while we stoutly face the duty and keep shirking to the abs. minimum, it does tend to drain the juices out of the old coconut. Thus, conspicuous lack of wordy goodness in the Log.

Our Education in the Arts & Sciences of the Metropolis was fruitful indeed. From the Appreciation of Semi-Abandoned Architecture to Exotick Foods of the Orient, from the rough-and-tumble, but ultimately quite bloodless Flying-Disk battles of the natives to the Tasting of Wines from the Land of the Rising Sun, we have been able to collect precious worldly influences that perfectly fit the image of the modern, cultured gentleman. Mjr. W seemed to be particularly impressed by the melodic emissions of the Jazz performance we stumbled upon, and by the comfortable little mansion & collection of mementos by the Park.

While our Eastern European headquarters are more suitable, in clime and atmosphere, for sombre recollections and morose Russian Arts, we expect to be able to toast a few W&S, G&T, &c, &c, in fond remembrance of the Occasion once P-wick's scheduled exchange expedition launches on the Holidays.
