7 were taken by Anthony of this meeting"?
8 A. Yes.
9
10 Q. That is Mr. Pocklington, who is here sitting in court
11 today?
12 A. Yes.
13
14 Q. You were asked if you wanted to add anything to the agenda,
15 and you say that this time it was written on the back of an
16 envelope, but you declined ---
17 A. Yes.

56 but, mainly, the person picking up the letter read it and
57 then discarded it."
58
59 That was generally what happened at the meetings, all the
