Dear Rose,
 
I would be very pleased to get some of these shells for the museums
collection. Please send them to the following address, as  always
I am not in my office at the museums, as I have a lot of shell-doing
at school-collections and on our private collection.
Hope to hear from you as soon as possible.
 
My address
 
Helmut Nisters
Franz-Fischer-Str. 46
A-6020 Innsbruck / Austria
 
thank you very best
yours sincerly Helmut Nisters
