Dear Nessa,
I know if there's any communication problems between me and EA (you), it's
becasue I've done the wrong thing. 'Blind faith in Nessa' is the
catchword. or if you want it in Cork's own Riverlee Eirenlish, 'bluind fayte'. What
more could a virtual mamma want.

Congratulations on an excellent EA9, on your (and other editors') good
taste in selections. 

It is possible in some way to have some direct information and
communication on what goes on in the Dublin Writers' get-togethers, other than pints
all round at the Winding Stair.
 Best Christmas and 2001 wishes to you an all.
