Hello Cindy,

Thanks for the paper, I'm eternally grateful. Please thank Dan Glenn for me. (Treat this piece of news with discretion but Enoch, ordinarily a real inept fellow, has proven not to be -- he had dinner with us in Dec.) I am also after biographies in verse and plan enough for publication in March.

Brad, Ian and Ray have done their prelim. It's been, in each case, a constant and costly exercise, venturing on the absurd. It would be immodest and mean of me to point out that they claimed I annoyed them considerably when I assumed they had failed. Such events occur very rarely.

Regarding the end of year function; in a recent reply from Todd he seemed non-plussed and said he would bring Jean and leave you behind. Exams are the main problem at the moment. Dont gasp! He remembered you at the eleventh hour! Remind Jean, she arrived late last time.

See you, Russ
