Regrettably will have to turn down offer of writing on Abbasid and Fatimite Caliphates as is involved in producing an edition of a 27000 verse mystical poem. Does not know any other historians who may be interested. It is possible there are some in Germany.

Thinks that Bevan's idea is right, though he will devote most space to Baghdad and Cairo before the 11th century. Believes that Stanley Lane-Poole is the best man. Hates the word culture though anthropologists love it. Has read an item on the Bulgarian kingdom but was unimpressed. Hopes that JRT will come to Cambridge to vote against the feminists.
