gear ^ibeke, it was a great pleasure again to bear from you,and J am happy that both you and Louis are well,and also Rudie and Jens and the smal ones,and that you had such’a wonderful time in Italy.How I wish I could see you again soonl As to us you are right, on the whole, about our divorce,and we both seem to enjoy our new status.The fact that we stayed very good and lighthearted friends helps,of course,very much,I think, and looking back,the only thing ffi regret is that we did not do it earlier. I spent the six prescribed weeks in the state of ffevada in the summer and was able to fully enjoy the Itild West with its desert and sage-brush,horseback riding and cowboys and the cool, clear,fresh air of the Sierras,and on my way back New Mexico»which I love very much.It was a new, enc banting and lasting experience. Just now I returned from skiing in the Vermont mountains where I stayed over the holidays.So,as you see,things with me are fine, and Roman is,thanks God, also healthy and well. Vibeke,I saw once at my friends a Swedish chair which I liked very much,and which how I saw again in the Swedish journal r*Kontur JSiLedlsh,Design Annual*no. 11. I cut out the picture and am encio- sing it wo ndering, whet her one can get it in Danmark.^s a matter of fact was told it is available in Copebagen.Do you have any possibility to inquire? Roman said he would buy it for me on his /next trip there in about two months.The chair exists in different combinations, and I would like it in brown wood and covered with black lamb fur.There is also a small foot-chair that belongs to it.I would be very grateful for any information t^xycru because Roman would certainly not know how to go about it. What are your plans for this summer? We all are going to Bulgaria to the Slavic Co ngress.Time goes so fast.

With very best wishes for the new Yæafc to you and nouis and the whole family -
