ALS from Carreta Gornarathe

Advises Crook that the political situation in Sri Lanka is rather disturbing, with the terrorist attack on the airport having an adverse impact on the economy. She suggests that while she is still on sabbatical she will take the opportunity to do some writing, based on the research she did during her time in Cambridge.

ALS from Carreta Gornarathe

Thanks Crook for his concern but nobody close to her was affected by the tsunami. She describes the force of the waves as mind boggling. She states that corruption and inefficiency are beginning to creep in. She is busy marking student exams which were postponed due to the tsunami.

ALS from Carmen Johanson, Armidale, New South Wales, Australia.

Goddard, St John's College, is attached which asks Crook for comments to add to a letter to be read out at Tanner's memorial service. A one page telefax from C. Johanson, which precedes her letter regarding Tanner's death is also attached..).
