Hola:

I have received the shell; at last..., the mail in our country is very delayed
these days.

It is a beautiful janthina, very big and perfect and hand collected by Robert C.
Edwards; I will put it in a special place.

Very big thanks to Sylvia Edwards for the gift.

Un saludo
Emilio Lopez
Merida, Venezuela
