Carly--

I apologize for our not closing the loop this afternoon.  I heard back from Gregg, who's been laid up most of yesterday and today a medical issue.  He's feeling well enough to anticipate that he'd be able to do a call tomorrow afternoon, if you are.

May I suggest 3:00 or sometime after that?

Best,
Dan

Hi Carly-

I've got kid-duty conflict today, I'm afraid.  I'm free tomorrow afternoon, if that works; if today's what works for you guys, Gregg & Barrett, please go ahead without me.

Thanks,
Dan

Julia-

First off, thanks for your patience with all of this; the extra two weeks was much appreciated.

I've attached the first six chapters of the manuscript here. I'm afraid that the seventh, which is the longest and sort of brings things everything together, is going to require a bit more time, as well as some additional discussion between Gregg and I. The problem is legal in nature, although it doesn't directly involve either of us.

I'm very sorry for bringing this up at the last minute; basically, there's one general problem that I thought would nonetheless allow for me to at least send in the draft of the chapter today with the others, and then afterwards hammer out the difficulties with you and your legal team, but there's been yet another twist in all of this that has just been reported this afternoon, and I'm concerned about sending the chapter out as it is until I've heard back from the National Lawyer's Guild and another attorney who has been sort of overseeing the legal situation for some of us. The best way that I can put it for now is that several people's cases are involved, and I'm having to determine what information is already publicly available and what isn't. At the very worst, I'd have to do a bit more research to figure all of that out, and switch out some scenes and a couple of things here and there, which I would do this week, such that at the very latest it would be in to you this weekend.

Again, I apologize for all of this; it's been kind of a complicated couple of weeks. Please let me know if you'd like to set up a time to talk further, and of course Gregg and I will be ready to start getting your input on the rest of the manuscript when you're ready.

Regards
