Hello Louise,

Sorry about the slow response--these days it seems that everything
non-work related gets put off until the weekend.

Thank you for your acknowledgment of my letter, and for taking the time
to read it--both of these things are greatly appreciated.

As you requested, here is the letter in electronic format. I originally
created it in FrameMaker format, and have exported it to RTF format, and
as a result a few things got screwed up -- all the quotes and bullet
symbols are appearing as weird characters. But all the text is OK. Let me
know if you have any problems opening and reading the file.

I understand that you are not able to respond right away, but I look
forward to hearing your eventual responses.

Thanks,
Andrew
