Well, maybe this is the answer...

Dear Dan,

I appreciate that.

I must say it gave me pause when I read in Sunday's NY Times that Larry Summers is taking such a prominent role in her policy operation (or at least, that was the impression he was trying to create).   I don't think people view him as someone who understands or is sensitive to middle class issues, and justifiably so.  Frankly, the policies he has embraced have done a lot to help Wall Street but not much for Main Street.   I am not a Democrat, but it seems clear that he will be a divisive, not a unifying force, among your Party's differing constituencies.

Best,
Sheila

Sheila, thanks for your note.  I'm sorry it won't work out this time.  We'll be eager to connect with you at any time in the future. I know that Secretary Clinton values your perspective and expertise, and hopes to seek your advice going forward.
Best,
Dan

Dear Dan,

Regrettably, I have developed a conflict for this Thursday and I don't know when I will be able to reschedule. I'm afraid that I have a very heavy travel schedule over the next few months.

In any event, please give Mrs Clinton my best. I will always remember the way she reached out to me in late 2008 during the transition to the new Obama Administration to offer her support for my foreclosure prevention efforts. And please say hello to John Podesta for me as well. I have known him for many years.

It makes me feel good to know that Mrs Clinton has people like John and Tamera advising her.

 I am sorry we will not have a chance to talk on Thursday, but I appreciate your gesture in reaching out.

Regards,
Sheila Bair
