Dear Matilda,

Thank you for contacting us about this new case. We are always happy to tackle your calculus misadventures. We were sad to hear that Snavely once again was injured, though we were less surprised to hear who instigated it. Dick Dastardly is a devious man. You were right to accuse him. All evidence pointed towards him. We are sorry to say that in our research for this case, we suddenly faced some startling news. We decided to go interview Dick Dastardly in his jail cell. When we entered the room, however, he was gone. We found only a letter on his bed, and the bars to the outside window were gone. Though his jail cell was on the third floor, he somehow managed to escape. The police searched the area and he could not be found. Perhaps someday we will know what has become of him. Surely his physics expertise and his strong man capabilities saved his life.

We have included a copy of the note that was found in his cell. In it, he confesses his guilt and fully explains his deeds. We at Stum & Laws are requesting no payment for this sad endeavor. It is only our painful duty to bring you this correspondence. You have our deepest condolences for your two losses to your show. May Snavely's health soon return.

Sincerely,
