Subject: thank =ou

Dear Jeffrey,

I apologize for =eing late with this but I wanted to thank you for having had me over to =our magnificent house for tea last Saturday. Even if I was a little =uiet (!), I was fascinated by what I learnt from the conversation with =our most distinguished/brilliant guests. The penny has now finally =ropped and I think that I have correctly identified the origin of =hislaine's confusion regarding my involvement in neuroscience! I am =osting a cocktail party on December 14th for a friend of mine who's =ncle is a Professor in neurology (french!) and I had invited her. I =ust say that this has been very far from my mind these past weeks =ecause I was fully focused on the event which I had been working on for =uch a long time which was the launch of Global Kids in Washington DC =hich happened Monday night at the French Embassy and which was a total =uccess I am proud to say. Anyway this is my guess as to what occurred, =nd all this to say thank you and that I would love it if you would come =n the 14th.

Very best,
