   I know you will think me unreasonable but I can not take on this task. True I know enough
   to realise that I would have to re-read all the correspondence and go back to quite a few
   papers. In recent months my other commitments have fallen further and further behind , and
   I have two important promises (concerning papers to be written) that I must keep They have
   to take precedence because after Christmas all my teaching overwhelms me for 4 months . So
   - I recommend you ask Eugen Wahl - who I believe is genuinely completely objective and
   independent . Please ask him - understand and forgive me !!
   with really best wishes

     Dear Keith,
     I am an editor of Climate of the Past and in charge of a paper submitted by Brger in a
     revised form. As you may know, an initial version of this work was the center of a
     strong discussion in a first round of reviews. I need very solid reviewers to handle
     this paper and I think that you are one of the most qualified persons to do this work. I
     sincerely hope that you will give a positive answer to the review request, give a first
     look to the paper and assess if it can be published first online, and then proceed to a
     more solid review.
     Thank you very much for your help with this paper, which deserves a fair review process,
     and solid reviewers,
     Sincerely,
     Valrie.
