In full: “Thank you for your new book—’Forever Young.’ I just finished reading the chapter on yourself and it brings back vividly to memory the day you came here with your little note book and peppered me with delicious questions. I am still writing and painting—recently won first prize in an international art show held in Tel Aviv! Gave me quite a thrill. I hope your book sells thousands of copies.
