Dear Dr Hodinus,
We arrived the night before last, broken and chilled, and I tried my very best to call you. But apparently you don't have a telephone. I wanted to return your books and thank you for everything. On Wednesday I'm speaking to a Swiss journalist and I want to send her to the editor of the 'work' so that she'll publish a second article by you and the political images by me (e.g. 'What we are Fighting for') where these are still lacking.
Do come and visit soon, just not on Wednesday evening or Thursday night, when we won't be at the flat.
I hope you're both well. Much love, as ever.
Yours,
OK
