   Eugene and Dave
   sorry not to get back to you before (but this was my really heavy teaching period - now
   running down). In fact generally what you intend is fine though perhaps with a bit more
   focus on philosophy rather than mechanics. Let me try to explain -
   First let me say that the I agree  with John about not using the Appendix route. So your
   plan as outlined as 3 sections is ok. The brief illusion to specific proxies and
   cross-referencing is the way to go but "good" examples of various types is very acceptable.
   Let me say though that we do not need too much "standard" stuff on trees that can be found
   elsewhere - just appropriate focus on issues and signposts to literature - but rather a
   discussion of concepts that show potential and current difficulties of high-resolution data
   (including specifically intra-annual as well as inter-annual) as distinct from other types
   of (less-resolved) proxies. Major stress on the ubiquitous use of empirical interpretation
   of climate controls of proxies (and inferred assumption of the stability of
   uniformitarianism underlying these regression approaches) would is important (as is lack of
   true process understanding to date in many studies - or at least demonstrable evidence in
   consistency of  such with regression-based results in existing studies). Also we need
   discussion of how current methods  emphasise  climate variability, potentially loosing or
   attenuating evidence of (multi-century) climate change. Yes you could discuss how the
   precision enables hypothesis testing about very -short time scale forcings and responses
   and the definition of precisely delineated patterns of reconstructed change in space also
   -  because of the facility to average accurately , while less resolved data , calibrated
   with spatial regression -  possibly over state the latter evidence or at least produce
   reconstructions with such wide confidence bands that they effectively tell us nothing
   useful about medium time scales of change , say centuries. However, this begs the question
   of the Hockey-Stick debate (the Von Storch , Burger stuff) and the limited basis (in terms
   of proxies and coverage) that it provides (because of the need to respect resolution and
   climate sensitivity issues). Don't be afraid to attack this issue head on.
   I like your section 3 by the sound of it .  In practise, it will be hard to judge the
   appropriate level of detail needed for specific proxy types - so think in concepts with
   examples rather than the rigid proxy type approach (such as was used in our recent Holocene
   review) - and if in doubt , do less now and leave it to the authors to juggle the balance
   between chapters later. Your focus though on the dendro will , however , be in this chapter
   only.
   Basically , what you are doing is fine , but think what you believe limits our
   understanding of current proxies and what we need to do  and remember that the future
   ideals are what you are trying to identify and , so facilitate. I know this sounds a lot
   like what we tried to do in that review paper - and perhaps it is - but it gives you the
   chance to put your stamp on the debate. Good luck and thanks for taking this on

     OK, I will await guidance from you on settling this question.  Inclusion of the material
     on dendro methods in the main text would take us back to the original 3 main sections,
     just with section 2 on Methods focused largely on dendro -- with the various other
     high-resolution methods briefly mentioned and then referenced to the other relevant
     chapters on them for more detail.  This structure is fine with me.
     By the way, please include David Frank, my co-author, on this correspondence as it
     develops.  Thanks very much.

     Dear Eugene
     OK, but I would prefer the `tree-ring proxy' material to be integrated into the chapter
     (rather than an add-on appendix).
     Perhaps this could be achieved by describing section 2 as a case study of  the most
     important proxy.
     I am very disappointed th\at Keith Briffa has failed to send me any editorial comments
     on any chapter - I know he expressed particular interest in your chapter (perhaps this
     will prompt some comments).

     Subject: Re: Editors' comments on chapter outlines (Handbook of Environmental change)
     Hello Dr. Matthews:
     I have looked over the outline of the chapter I am co-authoring with David Frank (c.
     15), and note that the one editor's comment suggests a significant abbreviating of the
     description of proxy methods that is set forth in section 2 of the outline.
     I think this is a valuable suggestion, and based on it, I want to suggest that David and
     I implement it with one important change.  The change would be this:   we would mention
     the various methods in an introduction and reference the other relevant chapters on them
     for more detail, with the exception of dendrochronological data, which we would describe
     in some detail in a "Tree-Ring Proxy Methods" section that would act as a kind of
     appendix to the chapter.
     Please let us know what you think of this alteration.  The outline as set forth in
     sections 1 and 3 would otherwise remain unchanged, except that the former "section 3"
     would now constitute the actual section 2 -- with what had been the second section
     before becoming the ending methods section described above.

     Dear All
     Now find attached one more set of Editors' comments (Anne de Vernal) added to the
     Chapter Outlines file.
     Note also that we now have a confirmed author for Chapter 42 (Andy Morse).
     So all we have to do now is write the chapters!
     Enjoy!!

     Dear Authors
     The attachment  `Chapter outlines' now contains some comments from four of the editors
     of the Handbook, which will hopefully be of some use to you as you write your chapters.
     Please note that it is now only a month to the deadline for writing the first complete
     draft of your chapters!
     I am still awaiting the comments of three of my editors - but please do not delay.
     Also attached are the full list of `Chapters and authors', which includes authors'
     contact details.  Please contact authors of other chapters if you need to discuss
     unresolved questions about coverage and overlap.
     (I am still happy to discuss these aspects too.)
     I look forward to receiving your chapters by the end of March according to the timetable
     included in the third attachment - `Notes for Contributors'.
     With thanks to Mike Walker and Patrick Nunn whose chapters have already arrived!
     Best wishes and good luck with the writing!!

     Subject: CHAPTER OUTLINES (Handbook of Environmental change)
     Dear Editors and Contributors
     1)   The attached `CHAPTER OUTLINES' contains at least the headings and sub-headings
     proposed by authors for their chapters.
     Editors should send me their comments/suggestion by February 14th please so that I can
     send out a co-ordinated response to authors.
     Strategic comments are required rather than attention to detail at this stage.
     Authors should use these outlines to consider strategically their chapter contents in
     light of the other chapters.
     I still need a couple of outlines from a few authors (you know who you are!).
     2)  The attached `CHAPTERS AND AUTHORS' has been updated: I am still working on authors
     for the two chapters outstanding, namely Chapter 6 (modelling approaches) and Chapter 42
     (human health).
     All please note some changes to chapter numbers resulting from an added and merged
     chapters.
     3)  The attached `NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS' is unchanged but please note we are trying to
     keep to the schedule, which involves first drafts of chapters being compled by end of
     March.
     Belated New Year greetings to you all!
     John
