Dear Dan,

Just received your letter this afternoon and went right to work on the deal. Here is as much information as I could find out:

The package can be shipped from Kansas City via air freight to New York at a cost of $6.91. From New York to Paris it would go via International Air Express at a cost of $27.25. From Paris to Feves (unable to locate Feves on any tariff so am considering Metz as a close station) via Railway Express at a cost of approximately $3.25. This makes a total of $37.41. There is no tax charge. The package can be billed at Kansas City all the way through to Feves. The Paris office will handle the transportation from Paris to Feves.

If you are interested in insurance the rate is 20� per $100.00 valuation.

I will be home February 7 and could bring it back with me should you decide to ship it. This is by no means a high pressure sales talk. Ha.

I am enclosing a timetable which you may use for flight and fare information if the need should ever arise. Several people from Morganville have asked me for certain fares and this should fix them up. All fares shown do not include sales tax which is 15%.

I hope this will fix you up. If there is any other way that I may help or if you need any more information please don�t hesitate to drop me a line.

By the way, I�m still holding my OWN.

Best regards,
