    I only now add the entreaty that you may take in good part the present pledge of my good-will towards you, and of the honour in which I hold you. Jor the errors and inadver- tencies of the work you have no share whatsoever in the blame. All the responsibilities are mine; nor will my folly cause your punishment.
