Any time will do⁠—I shall not be out of the house. Don’t telephone ahead, for there is no telling who or what may try to intercept you. And let us pray to whatever gods there be that nothing may prevent this meeting.

In utmost gravity and desperation,

Charles Dexter Ward.

P.S. ⁠—Shoot Dr. Allen on sight and dissolve his body in acid. Don’t burn it.
