Dear Doug,

I would like to know more about English politics. Hey, I mean Cornwall has got to be as interesting as let's say Ohio. Btw my grandmother Lehman's family were all from Cornwall.

Let's not be to rough on our Johnny Bull cousins for asking about American politics, business and finance.

Fraternally, Tom Lehman
