The handwritten note, on Simon Rae's personal stationary, reads "25th May 2000 / Frank, / Another book - I'm sorry - but / at least it's a thin one. / I can't imagine Faber without you; / but I'm sure you can. Hope you / have a great time, - and that / retirement doesn't rule out the odd / pint. / Every best wish / Simon". The recipient is Frank Pike, an editor at Faber and Faber for 41 years and from the 1960s onwards responsible for the Faber drama list, recruiting Tom Stoppard, Simon Gray, Brian Friel, Sam Shepard, and Alan Bennett, among others, as well as working closely with authors already publishing with the firm, notably Samuel Beckett.
