before moon rise and vapory mist! not later in the blanched heat of an Autumn sun, to an innocent and inoffensive neighbor. 

In forgetting this part of the affair, I might, if absolute candor were less chilling, indulge naively in quoting from certain immaculate compliments said to have been exchanged between a gentleman and a contractor not very far from a familiar garden line, and which, if analyzed, might explain the extraordinary rebuke of "crushed stone".

I am, however, deeply sorry that "your feelings were hurt", but candidly, I am unwilling to risk sacrificing my life in a vain effort "as man to man, to overcome the little difficulties encountered" unfortunately with my contractors, by even yourself. 

Your generous offer to let my cold blue wall of intrusion have permanent anchorage on your home domain, is appreciated, but while you say the wall is "not offensive", its "dominating spirit" (eleven inches long) might become infinite - might dominate the moon, notwithstanding that it was originally erected fourteen years ago as mutual protection to joint property, by common consent of parties interested. 

So with further apologies, the next step will be the down-pulling of the wall and the up-lifting of the alley. The new opening will amuse "Weary Willie", and prove the superiority of neighborly co-operation over matter. 
Faithfull yours,
Charles L Freer
