Hi Joe.

I can't really tell you anything else just yet but we are hoping for good news soon. I think you deserve some kind of explanation and without saying too much; Robert has been very poorly indeed (since a few days after making the announcement of the styles!) and it has affected his ability to work (which is why he was not in Frankfurt or the UK earlier this year). Illness cares not for schedules and has no sympathy for the victim.

Thanks for being so patient - we realize waiting is very frustrating.
