Dear Alison,
this is a very difficult situtation. You are right not to keep it to
yourself, if ever something needed the light of day it's this. I admire the
balance in your account, and in your letter. I think I would find it much
more difficult to maintain such equilibrium. Being repeatedly contacted in
all those ways, against your will and despite your continued statements to
that effect, does constitute harassment. That's what it is and that's that.
As others have said, Rebecca is by no means short of good, indeed
outstanding, qualities. None of which you have gainsaid in your e-mail,
which stuck to the very specific nature of the problem.
I hope this is resolved very soon. I don't know what to do or say bar send
my support.
best
Randolph
