Dear Mr.Reyrman,
Thank you for the kind reply. You will no doubt be forwarded a =
letter in which I addressed the lute list, and publicly insulted you.=20
First, let me say that someone forwarded you one of my letters from =
the lute list in which I was asking about copyrights etc. Of which I =
really know nothing about. I asked everyone's opinion about this and we =
were exchanging ideas etc. I also had no idea that the process of =
photographing these manuscripts was so involved. In the end someone =
suggested that I contact you directly, which I did asking your =
permission as you know.
I wrote you about an hour before I received your first letter, =
mistakenly assuming this was your response to my letter, all the time =
unaware that someone sent you my first letter from the lute mailing =
list. I then wrote a rather insulting letter back to you in response to =
my first letter. I hope this is clear for you.
Now, I would like to profoundly apologize to you, I deeply regret =
what I said publicly about you, and hope that you can forgive me for =
this. As it is late here as soon as morning comes I shall issue a public =
apologies to the entire lute community, concerning my terrible unjust =
letter. Thinking you read my first letter, I couldn't imagine that was =
your response. I never at any point had any intentions of going =
against your wishes, even if I could have gotten away with it.
Who ever sent you the first letter did so with without my knowledge, =
and alarmed you for no reason. I think Mantanya should mind his own =
business, he causes nothing but problems.=20
Should you hold this against me I completely understand but hope =
as two human beings we can come to a better place in this. And again I =
humbly ask for your forgiveness.
