Your beautifully wrapped package of books -- two copies of "Journal in the Night" -- arrived at my door this morning and made my day! A thousand thanks for the care you took, first to find them, and then to send them as you did, all done up with tissue paper to boot. It was like Christmas in June AND it was my first experience buying books on the Internet. All the best to you, and perhaps our paths will cross again.
I write to you these few words to tanks for your friendly service and to notify the correct arrive in Rome of my two maps (New York and Paris). Tank you and good bye to my next visit in NY.
