Miss Anna Kallin,

Dear Miss Kallin,

Thank you for your letter of December 9th. I should very much like to accept your invitation for December 16th, but unfortunately I shall be in North Wales then, and, as it is a seven-hour journey, I do not feel that I can manage it. I think the idea of the series that you outline1 sounds very interesting.

Yours sincerely,
<signed> Russell.
