I had a professor in college, who was also my thesis advisor, who always instructed us to skip any front matter. He told us it was pointless to look at it until the end.
I made an exception here as it was a letter from the author and was not likely to have any critical analysis or spoilers. I am going into this particular Eliot title blind, so I wanted to stay unspoiled.
