Hello, Thomas - I'm very glad you were pleased with the recent edit, and I'll look forward to getting the rest of the ms. I actually thought of your work this morning while reading a review of the new book "China 1945." My availability will be a bit spotty over the next few weeks: I'll be available Jan 22 through Feb 3, then again after Feb. 10.   Thanks again for the opportunity to work with you.    RebeccaTDE
