        Sue -
        I've been in Bournemouth now since yesterday, and our clients seem to be
most enthusiastic about our new range of notepaper. Can you send some more
samples and about twenty more catalogues? Please send them Datapost, then I'll
definitely get them tomorrow.
        Also, just to let you know I'll be in Norwich on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th,
and back at the office on the Monday.

       Thanks, and see you next week.
