Responding to a letter from 3 months ago. Discusses coming to the States: “...from the 15th of April to 6 of May will be in New York, a bit of Canada and perhaps both the Carolinas. Please let me know whether there is a possibility to see you in Orangeburg. I feel to drive down to Florida would be too much for the three weeks. I do not come over to work, just for fun, since our eldest daughter is living in New York. I wait for your answer, all the best to you and your family.” Signed with the uncommon form of his full name “Gerd Barkhorn”.
