Hello, Maurizio:
I hope youe fine, and everithing is O.K. there.
What4s new about shells ?
I just receipt some coralliophilas from East Africa; one of this is deep
blue-lavender collored, I really love this shell !, It was my best
Christmas present !
Well, this note is to ask you about your adress. I have the lot of
Olives ready to send you.
About the murexes, send me one or two, only the pieces you think are
most rare. A favor, wait until you receive my parcel to send me the
shells.
Well, that4s all by now.
A warm regard, amigo.
Jorge Mendez
Mexico City
