Dear Friend Dollarhide,

Thank you very much for your letter from 23.11.1970 which I got on 20.01.1971 (!!). Many thanks again.  There I was not in Berlin, I could not answer earlier.  '

Many thanks for your kindness. to send me regulary your bulletin. Yes, send you such informations, like you wish about our  and other jugglers in the  socialist countries.   I send you also one exemplary of the Russian Magazine about variety and circus. Next week I ride again to Moscow and will bring for you some photos of Russian jugglers.

I am 42 years old, and began 17 years ago to collect photos about artists.  Now I have in my home more than 2500 books ,about circus and variety in 26 languages, I have 2000 magazines about variety and circus, more than 26 000 photos, 5000 copies of programs, 100 toys about artists, many requisits from jugglers and other nubers, films and all about the circus.  

Last year in my home guests from 15 countries,   of USA, England, Russia, Poland, Vietnam, Sweden, West-Germany and yesterday was in my home Karl­Heins Ziethen from Westberlin.  Every year I show an exhibition in Berlin or other towns about circus numbers. There I did always show your bulletin too.
