"Dear Madam,
I thank you for your letter and I am truly grateful for the feelings you are willing to show me. Your proposal has never ceased to tempt me but my plans for next season have not yet been decided and I cannot give you response now. In October the outlook will be much clearer and if you want to write me again at that point I think there`s a good chance that our common aim may become concrete.
In any case, believe in my gratitude and my respectful feelings.
Albert Camus"
