date: Tue, 17 Jun 1997 11:30:23 +0400 (MSD) from: From subject: message from Vaganov to: k.briffa@uea.ac.uk Dear Keith sorry for late answer - was busy with annual meeting of Academy (several visits to Moscow and Novosibirsk). Thanks a lot for your efforts to get money to continue the field wood collection in Taymir. Also many thanks for your making the manuskripts. For my point of view your suggestion to bring money to Krasnoyrsk seems more acceptable that to send it with Fritz. We start with Taymir expedition in the end of August (just before the Krasnoyarsk meeting) and for short period I can easily to borrow the needed amount in Institute (because you'll be in Krasnoyarsk at Semtember 1-2). So, for me this variant seems better. Only one problem - transfer the cash money. You can use also the way to transfer on bank, but now there is only rigth way (without lost a money and overcome some bureacratic problems) - to transfer from your personal (privite) account to my bank account. Let me know, what you prefer? Regards, Gene. P.S. Did you receive my fin.report?
