Sir,
I beg to apologize for the delay in replying to your note—caused, as it has been, by unavoidable circumstances.
I am sorry that it is quite out of my power to comply with your request, in the matter of a contribution to your book—having long been bound by a rule which it is now impossible to break.
I am, Sir,
very obediently yours–
Robert Browning.
