Alex and Jeff —

I am free this afternoon at 5:00. Tomorrow I will be driving back to Florida, so I am free any time after 1:00, but I don’t know how good the cellular reception will be. I can’t believe that they have managed,to drag this out for almost four weeks.

Thanks.

Just read the letter.

  1. The purpose of the agreement was not an out of court settlement.

  2. We specifically refused to include the provision saying that we would not communicate. If I recall the conference call, we told him we could not agree to a gag order using those words.

Seems that they can’t take no. Let’s talk re how to proceed. I’m not sure we will ever agree on a letter at this point.
