Dear Julia Clark,

I am very much interested in your ideas for Tasmania. Apparently, you wanted
to educate the people to preserve their own heritage and make their own
exhibitions and museum. If possible, could you send your paper also to me,
either email or fax?

Thanks in advance,
Peter, the Rebernik
