Dear Sir,

Thank you for your letter of 3rd April in which you give a synopsis of your book.

We are sorry to say that our list does not now include general books, and for this reason we are unable to take up your kind offer to see the typescript.

We regret to disappoint you by writing in this way, but hope that another publisher, perhaps one who specialises in military books, will regard the proposal in a different light.
