Dear Vance,

I am horrified to find out that it has been over a month, and I am only now receiving this and your previous email.  I'd wondered why I never heard from you!  There must have been a tech error.  I apologize for the delay in my reply; I have always been punctual with my response time, and I will check with my chief editor about why this happened.

In answer to your spacing question, there are different format styles (e.g. MLA, APA, Chicago) some requiring two spaces and some one.  If an author doesn't request a particular style, I usually default to the spacing type he has used most often and make it consistent throughout the document.  I can't recall whether you had mostly ones or twos, but, for some reason, I defaulted to the one!  If you would rather have the double space at the end of each sentence, I'd be happy to adjust it for you.

Again, I am sorry for the communication glitch.  I so enjoyed working on your book, and I look forward to its publication--please let me know the details of that so I can buy a copy!

Thanks,

Laura
