Dear Andy,

I'm sorry to hear your mother is ill. I hope that goes well.

I understand the problem with communication - people are in & out at UEA
too. I am away myself for 3 weeks from next Monday.

However, we really do need to know soon what Edinburgh's position is going
to be. Perhaps you could get back to me today, after you have spoken with
John Grace?


Best Wishes,

Trevor
