Gwen,

I had a very interesting conversation with my wife's cousin's boy at the match today. I want to run something by you. Can you make it by the Whizz Hard offices in London tomorrow or Wednesday, or else at my home one evening? Not Thursday, Agnes and I have a performance to attend, but any other day this week at your convenience.

Regards,
Graham U.

Congratulations on a solid victory today. I really enjoyed the match and thought the team did a good job.

The Sport Editor wants me to start running a series of interviews in the Sunday Prophet. I thought I could start with a Portree player and I was thinking of Buchanan or MacDonald, to start with a strong Scottish flavour. Do you think you could arrange that for me? I have an idea of the questions I want to ask, general Scottish things, state of the season, and for Buchanan his return to Scotland. Also something about the number of injuries, not just for Portree but league-wide. Ideally I'd like to have something for this Sunday but if you can't manage, we can go for next Sunday.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

When: 25 September 1999

( The crux of the matter, of course, was how he’d get on in a match if and when he went in. )

I wanted to remind you about the camp idea we discussed earlier this month. Is this something you'd feel comfortable bringing up to the Yaxleys in conjunction with PR?

I gave Angus Campbell one further examination and as far as I can tell, he's as ready to fly as he'll ever be. He's still having occasional troubles in moments of extreme emotion, but he and I are going to work on ways to solve that and I've got some ideas for how.

The only way to judge what might happen is going to be to put him in a crisis on the pitch in a practising situation. I've done this kind of thing with mediwizards who had curseshock after bad experiences during the wars. It's up to you if you want to try that and there's no guarantee anything will happen. But if you want a test before you put him in for a match, that's it.
