Summary
Apologizing for her lack of response to Herbert's previous correspondence; requesting that they move their meeting to a later date: "I must ask you to put off till- say tomorrow-Thursday- our meeting"; adding that she has greater availability for a meeting the following week; advising Herbert to "slip your reply under my so-called concierge's door" adding, "or better still- drop up to the 3rd floor any time except this afternoon or Friday after 4-30 on a chance of finding me".
