My dear sister,

First, I must apologize for the lateness of this letter. There have been strange occurrences the last few days and I had not found time to write until thus. Since my letter describing the strange, but extremely intelligent and likeable Victor Frankenstein, we have been visited by many new guests. This does seem odd, does it not? In the cities- university even- I rarely come across those of as astute and sufficiently curious minds as of my own, but alas, now! On a voyage in the arctic, one of the most desolate, uninhabitable places on our earth, I meet not one, but FOUR more adventurous young minds and a strange dog with an uncanny ability to mimic the human tongues! I would be lying, dear Margaret, if I told you that I have not attempted, being of a curious and experimental nature, to converse with the animal with startling and amusing results.

The most curious fact of our new arrivals, calling themselves "Mystery Inc", is that while Frankenstein has never laid eyes on the travelers, they and Victor seem be in pursuit of the same creature. I was startled when Shaggy, a likeable but rather dim and timid fellow, asked Victor and myself if we had "like, seen a big, freaky green monster guy?" (If I may interject, here, that his dialect suggests to me that he is foreign, of course, and just a bit undereducated in the refined languages. However, I have discovered that he is a fine fellow and I greatly enjoy his company.) Upon recognizing our confusion, he turned to his companions and requested that they surrender their quest and exit the arctic, but the others persisted. I invited the adventurous bunch to travel with Victor, myself, and my crew, and that is where I leave you, thus.

"The Gang" has allowed me their friendship and, I am no longer a lonely soul. With Frankenstein and Mystery Inc. by my side, I will never feel alone again.

With love, your satiated brother,

R.W.

p.s. Scooby, the delightful Great Dane has verbally "requested" that I say hello, for him as well. Re-reading my last sentence, Margaret, I fear that maybe I am not in the best health, after all. But I promise that if you ever heard him, you would also swear that he speaks words for you and I. What a curious creature he is.
