To Mr. M. Brake.
I am to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 1/3/20 and to request
that you will be good enough to state the date upon which you last
received a payment on account of your pension.
CUTHBERT RUTT,
for Ministry of Pensions.

To the Ministry of Pensions.
Replying to your inquiry of yesterday, I have not received any
payment--not a bond, not a rouble, not a bean. That, between
ourselves, was my idea in initiating this interesting correspondence.
May I direct your attention to my signature?
