The letter:

Dear Toby,

The last time I saw you you staggered into my place like a sick dog looking for whatever you could get. I told you to stay away. Now I’m asking you to give me some help.

Don’t get your hopes up. This is not a plea for you to come back. It’s a combination of two things. A request for help from and to an old friend, and the offer of a job I think you can handle.

The job is confidential and very important. The pay will be very good.

I tried to reach you by phone several times, but that dentist you share space with had no idea where you were.

I can tell you that it involves a man named Howard Hughes and some things that are vital to the nation’s security.

Please call.

Anne.
