Dear Mrs Hatherwick
I received your letter of the 27th ult. with great regret. I shall, of course, investigate the loss of your brooch thoroughly and shall inform you without delay of my findings.
In the meantime I thank you for your kind comments about your stay here are trust that you will feel able to recommend The Excelsior to any friends or acquaintances considering a stay in this fine town.
Yours faithfully
