[PapuanLanguages] A grammar of Manambu, OUP

Tue Sep 16 23:55:45 EST 2008

hey Andy, the buggers obviously made the 'Reply To:' box 'reply all'.
Been meaning to write to you to give a message to Medina since I saw  
you in Paris - could you please tell Medina that I haven't forgotten  
to get the recipe for the marinated mushrooms, it's just that I don't  
have it with me in the States - I think it must still be in  
Australia, and I won't be in Australia until later this year. If I  
find it there, I'll send it on.
cheers,
Lea
