Dear Dr. Brown:

Thank you very much for your letter of 21 March, 1996, inviting me to attend and present a paper at the XXIV Seismological Conference. I am very interested in the subject of this conference and will be pleased to give an invited paper on “Long Wave Propagation in Solid Media.” An abstract of my paper will follow.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Dr. Brown:

Thank you very much for your invitation to attend the XXIV Seismological Conference. Unfortunately, work on my monograph “Earthquakes and Volcanoes” and my participation in another conference held at about the same time make it impossible for me to come. I am very sorry, therefore, to have to decline the invitation.

Sincerely yours,

F. Craft
