There, that's done and dusted, and I can begin making plans a bit more publicly -- or at least begin firing the first salvos in what will undoubtedly be a number of epic battles with the Governors.

If you've had a chance to start on those lists of potential lecturers, do forward them on; I will begin the persuasion. (If you haven't, of course, do not fret about it in the least; I've plenty of prospects to begin wooing on my own.)

I shall avoid asking you the usual tedious questions of how you are doing, but once again, if there is anything I can do -- even if it is just providing company -- say the word.
