Dear Mr. Schmittroth,

I'm of course pleased that you found my essay about the irresponsibility of the Montana vigilantes to be worthy of inclusion on your new web site.

You may include in the site the section of "The Petrified West and the Writer" that you specify in your letter of February 6, 1998.

Sincerely yours,

(signed)
