Second Letter from the Bureau of Scientific Inquiry

From
Bureau of Scientific Inquiry
1350 Massachusetts Ave.
Cambridge, Mass.

To
The Honorable
Henri Godenot
Mayor of New Toulouse

Dear Mayor Godenot,

Frankly, sir, we had expected a better response from you. It has been more than a week since we contacted you, and we have yet to receive any samples. Please send the samples you have collected as soon as possible.

After further testing, we have slightly revised the instructions we sent earlier.

• Preserve the samples, protect them from air WATER.
• Do not let these samples accumulate in large quantities. Do not allow more than 20 10 of them in the same box ROOM.
• Wash your hands after touching these samples. Use strong soap.
• Under no circumstances should you cook these samples and feed them to people or animals; especially do not use them as an ingredient of shrimp-stuffed mushrooms in butter sauce.

We are sorry, but we have to cancel your invitation to our Facility. In fact, we would prefer if you and your people stayed at least twelve miles away from our City.

We are very sorry for any confusion we may have caused. Very, very sorry.

With deepest regret and sympathy, we are

The Guys in the White Coats at BSI
