Barry-

I'm sure you have no interest in a full set of Stormalong John CD's, and a few others that Ken and Jan stuffed into our hands as we staggered out of the Chantey Cabin! Will we see you next Saturday at the Press Room?

We did make it to London from Preston, and to the rental car lot on schedule and with a minimum of stress. It is somewhat exciting to deal with rush-hour traffic but much of it was trying to escape central London.

Today I went back to the British Museum and the C. Fox Smith books were awaiting me as promised: WINGS OF THE MORNING, A GREATER BRITAIN and ALL THE WAY ROUND. So I spent several hours photocopying them, and checking carefully to make sure I had each page. Now I think we have 99% of the poems that Cicely published and I'll be adding them to the 400 poems already posted to the Oldpoetry website under her name.

We're all packed up and tomorrow morning at 7 AM there should be a limo waiting at the door to take us out to the airport. There we'll check in, have a much needed breakfast, and wait for our flight home.

This has been a nice trip, all things considered, wonderful weather, and our thanks again to everyone who extended hospitality to us.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
