MY DEAR ----,

Of course I shall be only too delighted to help you in any way in

my power. You may always command me--only too pleased, only too

overjoyed. But the fact is, I am just now exceptionally busy. Please

repeat the purport of your letter after the Election. Who knows I may

not be in a better position then than now to assist you.

Yours sincerely,

SOPHT SAWDER.
