<p>Dear Elspeth,
<br>
<br>In the discussion of the Ada Initiative I said that the deplorable events which you described might have been unique to you, which was a terrible thing to have said.  I don't know you, have no reason for saying it, and regret having done so.  Please accept my sincere apology for my breach of common manners.
<br>
<br>Sincerely,
<br>
<br>David</p>
