Dear Argosy, the book has already arrived well in (old) Amsterdam! It's indeed a very nice piece. Many thanks & best regards to New York.
You guys don’t waste time! Thank you so much for Leoncavallo! He is now in my study, on the wall of honour. You may have read that things are grim here in Melbourne, with everything in hard lockdown and everyone confined to their homes for at least six weeks. This has brought me real joy and I cannot thank you all enough. Best wishes
