That writing is genuine.
Kolonaty
Well, well. So Ellian MacGregor wrote that?
Prus

Kolonaty

Prus
Elina Makropoulos. There was no such person as Ellian MacGregor, gentlemen. That letter is a mistake.
Kolonaty

[He hands Prus the photograph]
Prus
[Looking it over]
Unmistakably the handwriting of Elina Makropoulos.
Kolonaty
Well, well. And it is genuine, the signature on this letter?
