<greeting>My dear Jelliffe,</greeting>
<body>
It is nice to hear of you again
after many years.
I just want to tell you that I see no
point in sending my papers to your journal. You surely
know that I am a mystic according to American standards.
So I think that it will be theoological journals that
might refer to my papers. I have noticed that my medical
colleagues find it particularly hard to understand my
ideas. I therefore should prefer not to disturb the peac
of their mind. The things that I have written in the
last years are the only psychological stuff, which I suppose
is Chinese to the readers of your journal. You will
excuse therefore if I prefer not to enter upon your
proposition.
</body>
<closing>Sincerely yours</closing>

I found this item on the LOC Exhibits website -- not knowing the full year and the recipient's full name was driving me crazy.
