aware of. I would like to write

employed your time but I
line

asure you it is just the re-
line

verse. In regard to our de-
line
k
bates so far it is just the
line

empty name. We have not
line

been at all excitable and
line

consequently not dangerous

isf in fact our last meeting was

almost a failure, but then we
