Dear Mr. Shukuya: / I am presenting that scroll to you as a gift. As to your request, I asked one or two people I thought helpful. Yet the decision has not been made. I will bring it to you in a few days so that you will be able to work on it. This is a hasty reply. / Twenty-third day of the ninth month.
