I found this document in a filing cabinet at home on Christmas Day but Troppo was down. But I thought it was an interesting document to ‘share’ as Dr Phil would say.

Except you can’t really read it. What does he say in reply?

Dear Fred,
I cannot tell you how much I appreciated your note.
I don’t expect the ordinary bod [?] to understand all the linkages and what we are trying to achieve – but I do expect many of the serious people to at least see it an some sort of framework. Unfortunately so many of them don’t – or if they do, hey rarely say so.
Not only have you said so – but you understand it all too well.
We have made our mistakes, or more fundamentally I have made mine – but those that have been made have been genuine ones and not ones made to be politically tricky or or [sic] through irresponsibility.
I am not discouraged Fred, but nor am I certain that all will go as we should like.
At any rate I intend to keep on trying.
Thanks very much for the encouragement.
Could I wish [?] you and Ann a happy Christmas and a good 1991.
Warm regards,
Paul Keating.
