CORRESPONDENCE WITH MANN      

December 17, 2003

Dear Professor Mann,

In MBH98 and MBH99, you refer to analyses of residuals carried out in these studies. Could you please provide me with (a) preferably, a FTP location for the residual series, together an FTP reference for the program generating the residuals; or, (b) in the absence of such FTP location, an email enclosing this information. Your analysis of these residuals was used to estimate confidence intervals in an influential scientific paper.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours truly,

Stephen McIntyre
