I did not offer the extra pages to MO. He saw me writing and asked me about
them. When I said that I had already submitted my wished-for words to you
but was making a list of other concepts I hoped we could cover someday in the
future, MO commanded me to give him the pages, indicating he would do what he
could. At no time did he make any promises. Still, I, too, was surprised he
requested so much material. I was pleased, though, that he took them. I did
not expect anyone to consider any of those concepts to be more important than
the few we had each chosen for the official wish list.
I shall be happy with any new words we get, whenever we get them. Of course,
I admit that I am anxious for anything from MO.
