My dearest Pepi Magister

We love you and expect you here as now we intend to stay at home for a time. Our kitchen has to be repaired so we are living in an absurd men and noise, with no water and the rest.

We shall be only too glad for having an excuse for feeding friends and ourselves somewhere else. Do come and give us a ring as soon as you arrived. Love to my beautyfull one and to you

Yours OK
