Let you order this book, it really makes me guilty. Fortunately, this has always wanted to write a novel, you can drill inside nothing to control it. There is also an article published shortly after ”The Crown", probably Ping Xin Tao will be an air mail to you, but they are not allowed to get things. Recently found a small Xerox store, go faster. If you have not closed the door, this must have been sent Xerox, so that you have to be complicated to send back. Will send a copy to the crystal. Della has always been good? Ailing April 8
