Dear Mr. Schultz,<ref>{{NM}}’s letter to [[w:Charles Schultz|Charles Schultz]],Schultz was an official with the New York chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences who invited Mailer to take part in a forum discussion.</ref>

Normally I think I would want to say yes to your invitation for the Forum, but since it falls on March 12, which is three days after I’ll be handing in my next installment [the sixth] of my novel to Esquire, I can know to a certainty that it will be impossible to prepare anything for the Forum or even think constructively in advance about what I would like to say and what my ideas might really be. So for that reason, most regretfully, I’m afraid I must decline.

::::::::::::::::::::Yours sincerely,<br />
::::::::::::::::::::Norman Mailer
