Thanks Dr.

I'm away from the office till later in the week but a short summary of the

Unfortunate to hear of Roberts malaria, please wish him the best and if
he'd like when he's out I'd be very happy to organise with our European KCJ
distribution agent (www.cookswell.eu) could bring him a nice hot pot of
jiko cooked pea soup.

Best,

Teddy
