    Dear Mamma,

    Having rung S.A.S., we could get the off season fare which saves a little (5 %) and the family plan, whereby Julia & Thomas can go half fare. This totals to about $1110 round trip, via the pole, tourist.

    I don't know how to approach Linus about a contribution. I rather dislike asking for money, and probably will not suggest it to him at this point. Perhaps you can.

    I do not fully understand Linda's request for these forms to be filled in for the Porsche. Who owns the car? I suggested that I sold the car to Pa on June 2nd and this seems to me the easiest way to get around the registration. Ask Linda please to tell me:

    Who owns the car?

    When did he buy it?

    In this bill of sale, who is buyer & who seller?

    In this statement of facts, I do not know everything they ask ie. date of entry. I still suggest that I do not really enter into registration except as previous owner.

    XXXOOO much love, Peter
