Dear Miss Holbrook,
I would like to extend an invitation for you to tour the London with me this Friday. If you are willing, I shall have a carriage awaiting you at ten sharp. We will begin with a tour of the separate hospital wings, including my own personal laboratory where I will be able to show you the records of other cases I have worked on that appear similar to your own. If the weather is pleasant, we will stroll through the nearby gardens before retiring for tea in my office. If all goes to plan, you shall be returned to your home no later than three that very evening. I look forward to speaking with you and deciding on how we will move forward in your peculiar case.
Sincerely,
