Dear Shu,

I'm a little late sending you these pictures but I've been a little disorganized since I returned from my British Columbia hunt. I think these are all the pictures you wanted. I also have snapshots of the "womb chair birthday cake" if you need some copies. I've enclosed the photo of the coffee set made by Harry Bertoia in '38 or '39. It looks like Eliel's design to me, do you recall it?

Also, you were going to send me a picture of your curlew decoy. With any luck, I may be able to identify it as a priceless piece of polychrome wooden sculpture of the "stick in the sand" variety. The decoy market has been going crazy this year and you may have a treasure on your hands.

Nina sends her love - we both enjoyed your visit immensely and hope to see you again soon.

Bob(bie) also sends his very best and is sorry he missed you.

Warmest Regards,

Ronnie
