A belated response...
Referring to this thread:
Dear Miss Watts,
Foremost, I apologize for the delay in response to your letter; my various errands in this accursed city, paltry an excuse as they are, have nevertheless detained me. I am reminded to resume our correspondence by increasingly prolonged stays in a state of some confusion, which have led me to believe that the quality of nightmares you inquired after in your initial survey bear further scrutiny for their devilish effects. Am I right in my presumption that, upon your devisal of the questionnaire, you had not precisely experienced the madness that cone comes to for lack of sleep and lack of trying? If so, then I offer my services, as an all-too-frequent denizen of that establishment, in assisting your research.
I remain,
G. Gillespie
