Subject: LILT meeting 19 May cancellation
To: Christian, John
From: Jim

Efternoon baith--

I've had to cancel the LILT meeting ... there's not so much progress to report in any case,
although I'm clearer about the way to proceed once we get/make a little designated time for it.

Best--

Jim

Dear Jim

I hope that the rain has perhaps dispersed some of the swirling
mists, though I see that the sun seems to be out again.

I think I should be able to pay PN direct from LILT. I'll
have a go anyway, as I should be paying some attention to
financial matters.

Everyone v. crotchety round here as all the implications of the
semester system begin to strike.

Hope to see you soon.

Christian

Hello Christian--

No problems at all about last week. I had not had time to read your
email-- and I sympathise with your fraught journey through the dreich
drookit glaury road to EUP. Very good. And a great feeling of freedom,
nae doot.

Yes, I can meet at 2 in the Club.

Best--

Jim
