Genttlemen:

Replying somewhat belatedly to your letter of May 28th, in which you make me an offer of the plates and dies for the House Behind The Cedars and The Wife of His Youth, as it would probably be merely a matter of sentiment if I bought them and the chances are almost nothing that I would ever print from them, I think you may as well let them be scrapped.

With thanks for your past consideration, I remain very truly yours, CWC.C
