Your postage from Taiwan is always fascinating! thanks for sending :-)

i'm very happy it reached you. i see i used one of those stamp collecting stamps on your envelope. i thought those were pretty fun. i keep hoping the post office will make more interesting stamps again like that (those are from a number of years ago).

Thanks, William, you know that this packet arrived last week in Athens!

really a great collection:

Many thanks xxx

[William M]

thanks katerina!

Thanks, William, I am sure vizma understands. We didn't think to make 26 stampings, that would have been an excellent solution. Next time :-)

Have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! xxx

thanks katerina. after i had collated i realized it probably should have had both your names on it, but it was too late by then. i usually just take the names from the return address on the envelopes unless i've been explicitly asked to use a different name. the only extra copy is an archive copy so of course that can't be sent to vizma. i was thinking it was too bad you hadn't sent 26 then you'd each get a proper copy. i don't like to do this, but i'll see about sending her a special "copied edition" when i have the time to get that done.

Great edition, William, and while I did send the Snake Goddess out in the mail, it should really read:

"K.Nikoltsou+VizmaBruns", as we did that stamping in collaboration : "K N + V B"

And I am sure Vizma would enjoy getting an edition if you have an extra? Thanks so much!
