Two pages, cr.8vo, fold marks, good condition, clear handwriting. Thanks you for having the courtesy to write. However, I just cannot allow you to think for a moment that I accept your explanation for misquoting me throughout the piece. You even deceive yourself [dotted line under] into believing that you gave a true interpretation of the interview.

I said in fact 'Oh! not that he is too keen on gardening' and you [doubly underlined] replied ., 'All athletes are lazy'[.] I did not [sentence underlined]. Also you asked whether I was surprised that Billy had done well in business. I clearly [underlined] said 'No, not surprised. I am impressed. He must have hidden talents!' You still printed 'Joy insists [dotted underlining] she is surprised [dotted underlining] at Billys [sic] success in business' [......]. Image of second page attached.
