["P. David Polly" <d.polly@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Bruno,

My sincere apologies for not replying to your kind message long ago.  It 
came while I was away for the Christmas and New Year holidays, and I fell 
far, far behind in answering messages after that.  Is it the case that you 
are now in Brest?  If so, that must be very nice.  My wife is anticipating 
a visit to Quimpre sometime this year as part of her research (she is a 
historian of the French Revolution).

I have raised the question of Carnets again to the Palaeontologia 
Electronica staff.  I think the answer will be that we will join.  I'll let 
you know soon.

With best wishes,
David
