Confession –

. . .I really do think you would enjoy Roy’s manuscript – – and – – I sincerely hope that you would not refrain from reading it because of my own failings and betrayal of trust . . .(probably you’re just too damn busy!) I completely respect that – but – include it anyway – – – just as a token of my sincere regret for my lack of courage and integrity . . . Most of all, I regret poisoning the well of our conversation. . .
