Dear Mr. Peal:

Last month, I telephoned your office to invite you to give a guest lecture to my graduate seminar in teletronics. You said you would be pleased to give such a lecture but asked that I contact you again, in writing, later in the semester.

If you are still interested in visiting the class, I would very much like to set a date for the lecture. The class meets on Tuesdays from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. and runs for six more weeks.

I would appreciate your letting me know as soon as possible which Tuesday would be most convenient for you.

Sincerely yours,
