Anyway, whatwantedsay was this:really like you very much, Kristi;have a very good time at the match with you. What happened at your hotel and back here was all quite funny, was it?hope we can forget about it all, and try again soon.remember you said that you liked opera. Well,have two tickets for Puccini’s “ Madam Butterfly” next Friday.do hope you cam come. I’ve thought about you a lot since that evening.
