Yes, the meeting seemed to go pretty well and we covered all the important areas in my agenda. There were one or two small points that I would have liked to have got through but I can probably have my assistant send up memos to the managers of each department concerning these.

But apparently that’s unlikely to be before next September. Actually that’s a point, though. Perhaps we should think about taking our holiday in France before then because you said some thing about being very busy in your job after August. We don’t want the same complications as last year.
