Dear Miss North,

It is discovered that an error on the part of one of the clerks has furnished you a Circular No. 8 in place of an answer to your letter of the 23rd. my time is so much and so urgently occupied that I fear I cannot comply with your request. But will, if opportunity is afforded, respect your wishes.

Yours with good will,

D. L. Dix
