Well, Peter and I have an incorrigible love for finding old houses and antiques and there's nothing more dramatic and exciting than to find a marvelous old, deserted house and to walk through it with remnants of the people here'n there (and spirits too!) And Peter did not really steal these - but they were there, unloved and unappreciated and he felt we should give them a home And now if they can add to your collection they'll truly be at home and belong there with you, much more than in a forgotten old musty box in a damp rain-filled cellar. So, dear Mr. Lenthal we are sending them on their way and hope that they will make you happy and that we shall meet one day in the near future. Most sincerely, Ann Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.
