Permission for the Land Owner

This is my conversation with the land owner, who I am going to call Smith, where I wish to practice my research.

[10:25] Lando Dragonash: hey do you have a second?
[10:25] Smith: Hello. :o) What's up?
[10:27] Lando Dragonash: hello I have a question to run by you. I am a student at Bradley University doing a field research class and I was hoping that I could get permission to practice some research here.
[10:27] Smith: Are you the one I spoke with on the phone Wednesday?
[10:28] Lando Dragonash: No it was not.
[10:28] Lando Dragonash: I IMed you but you were not online at the time.
[10:28] Smith: Ah, okay. What type of research would you like to do?
[10:29] Lando Dragonash: I have a notecard here at kinda explans some of it.
[10:29] Lando Dragonash: I am just curious how people worship in sl.
[10:32] Smith: Our service begins in about half an hour. You're more than welcome to stay.
[10:32] Lando Dragonash: so I do have permission to do research here?
[10:33] Smith: If you're just taking notes, certainly. Was there something else you had in mind?
[10:34] Lando Dragonash: I may have questions at a later date but currently no.

Unfortunately my computer crashed right before I could give him my notecard and attend the service. I later emailed him with the notecard as well as thanking him for the permission and help. He replied by saying:

Jonathan,
Thanks for the explanation of what you're doing. Feel free to observe in the manner you have described. You also have permission to use my name (real or SL) without modification.
Thanks,
Smith
