[Green] Injection Wells

[Maggie & Steve Meyer]

George,
Thank you! I am so glad to get the letter published. Originally, you wanted
me to write letters for four months. But this email suggests you are
encouraging others, which I think is a better idea. Someone else would be
more likely to get published. Let me know when you want me to write another
letter.
Maggie
