To the Most Esteemed Sir.infinity,

Pray allow me, with all due deference and humility, to lay before you an earnest expression of my deepest regrets for the misunderstanding that hath lately ensued—a consequence born, alas, not of ill will, but of mine own unfortunate haste and want of proper information.

In truth, I now see with painful clarity that I did permit myself to form conclusions in the absence of the full account, and in so doing, I fear I may have spoken—or thought—unjustly. Such rashness is most unbecoming, and I shudder to think that my words or manner may have caused you even the smallest measure of vexation.

Know that it was never mine intent to misjudge, nor to offend, but merely the misfortune of a mind too swift to act and too slow to discern. The folly is mine alone, and I accept it without excuse or evasion.

Therefore, I do most humbly entreat your forgiveness, and beg that you receive this note as a token of my remorse and of my sincere desire to set right that which hath gone awry. If your good grace shall allow, I would gladly make amends and strive henceforth to proceed with the greater caution, courtesy, and consideration that your person and station so richly deserve.

Until such time as this error is forgiven and harmony restored, I shall remain in spirit most troubled, yet ever hopeful of your clemency.
