Dear Argosy, Today I received the letters and foto from Alma Tadema. My compliments for all the items plus information you also sent me. And I must say, I am very happy! Thanks you for the perfect shipping. I am very glad that I have bought the items by Argosy. Your website I keep in my favorite!
Thank you for your kind response. As it turns out, I was able to visit the Argosy on Tuesday. In fact, I arrived shortly after opening and stayed most of the morning, making a number of purchases. I notice that you wrote to me a 10:34 AM, meaning that I was in the store when you sent me an email. One of life's many coincidences... Again, many thanks for your courteous response. Best regards, until my next visit!
