Good evening!

My sincere apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Here at the Polis, we are always interested in expanding our pool of authors to include as many salient subjects as possible. As such, we would be delighted to welcome you to our publication.

With regard to your wish to include footnotes, I see no cause for concern. In fact, as a historian myself, I often wish that Medium's formatting allowed for the proper use of them.

I'll add your handle to our list of authors and anxiously await the submission of your first piece for us.

Welcome aboard!

Dave
