Oh, that's the best! Another of my favorites: Ben Franklin explaining why he won't tackle the first draft of the Declaration of Independence:
"Mr. Adams, but Mr. Adams
The things I write are only light extemporanea.
I won't put politics on paper--it's a mania.
So I refuse
To use a pen
In Pennsylvania."
--Benjamin Franklin in 1776, "But Mr. Adams"
