Gavin,
Just two quick comments. First, I want to add my voice to the
chorus thanking you for all your good work on the Psalms
manuscript. Second, I want to follow up on Carol Kaske's
suggestion that you consider publishing your description of it
in the Sidney Journal. So send a note or short article either to Joe
Black or to me. We'd be delighted to have it.
Cheers,
Rob Stillman
