Dear John:
Thank you for your letter, which arrived while I was away on an eastern trip.
I am very glad to hear what has happened, and I hope that you come out all right, without suffering serious consequences for adherence to your principles.
I haven't heard anything more about my local situation, nor have I talked to anybody about it. There has been some indication that it will become lively a little later this winter.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely,
