Alte Tradition

No letters for three days now but a whole [???] of papers yesterday from father. Radio Times, John O’London which was very nice to get. I had forgotten I had this pc it is of the old shop at Mittenvald where violin making has been going on for the last 250 years - where I saw the [???] lute. The art of violin construction was first brought to Mittenvald by the Italians and in the buildings you then saw their influence on architecture. There was also a very interesting and picturesque church (r.c.) here and the buildings were all very old. The town was right at the foot of some very high mountains and I think it is a winter sports centre. It was a dear little place. I’ve had *two* *letters* from *you* in six weeks. Is that best you can do? [seems annoyed!]
