Dear David

How are things going? This a late to let you know that I am back in London and will be in the air again.

I would like to know, when do you actual want the photos? Would you interested in this exhibition that's traveling through Africa? If no one is interested on that side I may try to sell what I can on this side, it wont [won't] be so much to ship to the states. I really hate to break up the show if it can be show [shown] in the states. Did you receive the book and the apple?

All the best and drop me a line when time permits. Oh! did you make it back to Amsterdam?

I went to North Carolina and money is a problem. They are looking at all of the other applicants before they decide. If you hear of anything let me know.
