Batya. Apologies for writing late. Don't fret if you don't see this until tomorrow.

Three bits to pass along.

1. Conversation with Runge, who says Baddock's mad to doubt Malfoy and offered 4 items in support of his conclusion that Malfoy's not so deep in quicksand as 'some' are saying.
2. Rowle pulled me aside after a briefing last night to ask what I'd heard about Commerce. L's control of recent matters there has made an impression.
3. Conversation with Rookwood. Actual conversation. Last time I saw him he seemed completely unaware he was dropping every sixth word and forgetting a third of what we'd already covered. Wouldn't say he's back in form, but tracking better.

Trust all is well with you. What have they invented to try your patience this week?

Entirely,
B
