SubjectState of health
Dear Keith,

I recovered from tick's infection, at any case I do not have high
temperature during the last week. I hope that your health is also
good. Now I am preparing for field work.

I selected 32 new samples of dead larch trees from the Polar Urals and
sent them to Fritz via Leonid Agafonov. A new version of the
chronology will be up to 170 years longer and a better replicated between
1400-1700 AD.

The hard disk is working perfectly, thank you very much.

My best wishes to your family and Phil.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Stepan G. Shiyatov
