Tiber

PRESENTATION TO THE ROYAL PLANETIC SOCIETY OF BILDUNG OF LETTERS FOR LEURC COMPANY CONTRACT FROM SIR BARTHOLOMEW BELTON BARLOW.

The Leurc Company displays its generous tradition of patronage in selecting The Royal Planetic Society of Bildung of Letters for its decennial survey of planetary systems in hopes of informing its greed vision of corporate social responsibility and new opportunities. It is in deepest gratitude and gratification of the Society and myself, The Leurc Company gave me, Sir Bartholomew Belton Barlow, the pleasant duty of perusing the planet Tiber

I much regret the difficulties of not providing an exhaustive exposition of Tiber in two weeks per original instructions. The size and history of what civilization entails is an unfortunate circumstance one must always face in dealing with such endeavors. Nonetheless, I am confident my preliminary reports will further the company’s ends. All of my prior life’s work is postponed and will be reexamined on the condition my crucial activity here is finished. I shall, of course, will need further sums for this purpose.

My regards,

Sir Bartholomew Belton Barlow
