Additional Details

"You will excuse me that my large work load has kept me from responding until today. I responded briefly to your sister. I prefer that you leave me out; I hope to speak with you further about this some time.
"I also owe you a reply to the publisher's inquiry that you sent me earlier. I would like to know what genre of composition you prefer, and then I will provide you with more details."
