Thought that Volume VII of CMH was still along way in the future but is pleased to write a chapter on Edward III and Richard II as agreed. Has changed her specialism recently to that of social and economic history so if there were chapters on this aspect she would be happy to write them. Asks for information regarding the scope of the chapter.

Is honoured to be asked to contribute a chapter to CMH. Is slightly apprehensive because, though he feels his knowledge of Western Europe is adequate, his knows little of Eastern Europe and feels that this is important to the history. Would like a frank statement.
