Mr. Kanteh,

Thanks for your letter and sorry for the delay in reacting to it, a rather tight
schedule and intensified power outages have been keeping me away from the desk
recently. Yes, please pass it on to Mr. Wolf and lets hope he will reply. Thanks
once more for sending his website address. Hope to visit them soon. I have been
following your very engaging contributions to the List but have noticed a certain
allergy to marxism and anything marxian. I would love to discuss with you on this
matter when time allows.

Have a nice weekend.
Ous
