My dear Sir:
I regret to say in reply to your favor of the 17th inst. that I have been so preoccupied and also, to some extent, ill since I last had the pleasure of seeing you that I have been unable to advance in the matter. I shall devote thought to it as soon as my mind is free from the impressions which now dominate me.
I believe that I have told you that I have what may be called "inertia of mind" to a pronounced degree so that it takes me sometimes weeks to overcome the momentum acquired and change the subject.
Yours very truly,
