Dear Dan,
Many thanks for your kind invitation. I'm sorry to say that I cannot
commit to any further projects or conferences at present -- I'm just
starting a year's sabbatical to address a project with a fixed timing.
I will pass your letter on to the President of the IPHS to see if he
would wish to take matters further. My best wishes for the success of
your conference,
Yours,
John
