Rich,

Late night or early morning, depending on how you look at it, but here's the list you wanted.

Gemma -- Hong Kong office -- re: copper contract

Agata -- Warsaw office -- re: shipbuilding contract

Henry -- Baltimore office -- shipping schedules

Yasmin or Charlotte -- Paris office -- weavers' meeting

Ibrahim -- Mombasa office -- re: new hotel

Griffin -- morning meeting Friday (Devon) -- turned up Molly's B&B after some digging. All arrangements done privately as requested. G promises Molly still doesn't know a thing. Found a local florist who'll send up something seasonally appropriate to the cemetery twice a month.

Armando -- Rio office -- discipline has been taken; an official apology arrived this afternoon

Marc -- still no idea what happened to Gordon's suit. Marc swears his courier got a signature for it. He sent a copy of it as support. Looking into that; I don't know why it wasn't picked up in person. We've always done it that way, and I find the whole thing odd. Stiff note, or go see Marc myself? Antonio didn't have an open appointment for two weeks, not even for us, so I sent a rush order to Ian over in that new shop by the university. If he can do it in time, I'll add him on the list of regulars.

Fred wants to have lunch with you on Thursday to talk about the Swiss contract. Shall I call Tipton's and reserve a table for 1 o'clock? And René must see you before he leaves on Saturday. I've made a reservation for you at Bell's for 6, Wednesday night. Don't forget to wear the cufflinks he and his wife gave you.

How did it go in Mexico?

-- Mils
P.S. I got an owl from Timothy just before close that his daughter is in hospital. Some daisies and a puzzle will arrive tomorrow before lunch.
P.P.S. Ruby had her baby early this morning -- no word yet on name or gender. Flowers for her and a teddy bear for the baby will arrive tomorrow morning.

Mils,

I've been reviewing the P&L for last year. Wind down all of Mexico and Brazil and plan on closing by second quarter. Do not open an office in Belize. It would seem to be time to push the fledglings out of the nest. Announce that Central and South America are open territory for anyone who want to work it as an independent factor. First prize is a 1/10th share as a junior partner. I'll be going after the big contracts to supply the new resort construction myself. If you need the help grab one or two of the best paper shufflers when we do close our offices down to help you keep track of everything, it would be fine with me.

By the same token, tell Paloma she can have the Southeastern United States, but only if she goes out there as an independent. If she isn't confident enough in herself to do that, she isn't ready to move up in management. She's been doing well enough in what she's been doing, but I think she can do much more if she pushes herself to do it.

Your idea of catering to expats and Anglophiles may have merit, but I'm not that interested in it myself. On the other hand, catalog sales and the occasional retail store have worked well for others and would probably be worth taking a long look at. Run with it yourself if you'd like or find someone to do it. Toss a preliminary budget at me middle of next week. SWAG will do for now.

I've put you on my guest list for Crockfords. Give then place a good look over. Always nice to be able to refer to 'my club' when you invite a VIP out to lunch. A 'one of the boys' sort of things.

Rich
