\noindent Dear Sir
\medskip
\noindent
The allusion that `les num\'eros 11 et 12 semblent devoir \^etre les
derniers' of this esteemed organ are premature. I am delighted to
note that number 13 is well underway. It will include the following:

`Le nouveau bulletin {\sl baskerville\/}' bears no relationship at all to
\TeXline. {\fib Baskerville} is the journal of the UK \TeX\ Users Group. The
first issue was edited by Adrian (no relation) Clark, while the second is
being edited by Philip (certainly no relation!) Taylor. My involvement
with {\fib Baskerville} is very indirect, as Chairman of the UK \TeX\ Users
Group. It is in this role that I contribute material to Baskerville.
While the first editor of {\fib Baskerville} expressed the view that the advent
of this new journal signalled the demise of \TeXline, a view similar to
your own above, I suspect that it will be some years before \TeXline\
expires. We have already outlived his editorship. 
There is no difficulty in obtaining sufficient articles to make
production of \TeXline\ worthwhile. Production costs have been
underwritten by \TeX\kern-0.1emcel for number 13, and I am confident that future
editions can be similarly subsidised by other parts of the \TeX\ industry. My confidence
in the future of the newsletter is reflected in the fact that it now
sports an ISSN: it would be ironic to cease production after obtaining
this stamp of legitimacy.
