D.C. in full: "Dear Gerry, Thank you for you lessons in Burmese and
German and for your dashes of corrections--especially in the name 'Gerry'. My,
what a boo boo! U Thant's (not Mr. Thant) follow up letter has been miserably
detained due to an over abundance of illness in the Leonidoff household. The old
flu found its way to our door and everything stood still. Sorry for the delay in
answering you but I trust you understand and I do so hope the photo of U Thant
will become a reality. Sincere warm regards." Leon Leonidoff (1894-1989)
