I have called to pay my respects, Mr. Booth, & apologize for my [piece] of supernatural stupidity of last night (for I am sore about it yet, & righteously ashamed); but do not hesitate to excuse yourself if you so pref shall so prefer. I have traveled about the country lecturing enough to know how perfectly justifiably one loathes the intruding stranger who breaks in upon his needed repose & his prized seclusion.
Truly Yours
