Well, I was thinking of going out to see Julie this afternoon for a little while.

You know, about 4.30 or so.

Is there anything I need to stay for?

No, sir.

I just, I want to run two minor things by you.

I talked to Henry.

Yeah.

And he sent back a fairly optimistic report.

I saw his report, yeah.

And he said that that's really, that he's really quite encouraged.

Right.

If you've got a moment, I'd like to run over with you a little about this speech so that you could give a little guidance to them on it.

I just got a copy.

Have you got some time now or is there a bad time for you?

No, this is a fine time.

I'll come right over.

Bye.
