Dear Max,


Thanks very much for your
 comments



    
                   
  1.  Detailed review is in the




record for Aug 24, 1998.


I fixed the problem with the

record
on Aug 20, 1997, so you can take another
look, if needed.


One solution to avoid

wandering off the subject
by following links,
as you note in your letter, is to use

"clear, concise and
complete" 

communication, by directing the reader's attention to specific
information in the record.  My letters on

Aug 13, 1998
and on

Aug 20, 1998
used conventional email methods, in order to contrast with this letter which
strives to be "clear, concise and complete."


I have converted the earlier letters, and so invite your comments on whether
this method helps, as explained in the

record.


Sincerely,


THE WELCH COMPANY
