[lg policy] Symposium on Language and the Sustainable Development Goals. April 21-22

[J Joseph Errington]

Dear Humphrey,

Thanks again for including me on your list.  Unfortunately, and
unsurprisingly, end-of-semester busyness
keeps me on campus all day on the 22nd.

I hope another, similar opportunty arises before too long.

Best,

Joe
