"Senator, I thank you for your kind letter. My lecture does indeed last between 1 hour 20 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes, and you can rest assured, there is not a word that could offend anyone's convictions . I believe I was raised by my father with very broad ideas; I have never been involved in politics, I hope never to be, and as I consider there is something respectable in all opinions, I respect them all . I am a believer without being clerical, a great friend of the people without being a socialist, respectful of traditions without being hostile to progress. I would be very happy and honored to make your acquaintance, and I ask you to accept the assurance of my most earnest and respectful sentiments. J.B. Charcot"
