My Dear Sir,

I have just read your very interesting article in the May number of the "Contemporary Review", and will incessantly[?] answer you on the subject, when I read again and ponder over your essay. But I can tell you already that your plan is certainly more practical and cheaper than mine. Still I stick to my own and I [will] tell you why in my next letter.

Believe me, Yours very sincerely,
