From letters "Would you like to come to Adolf Fredrik's School? We've got a dead boring schoolyard and we wonder if You would like to help us making it more fun. We think it is silly that You had to attend a trial. We love your art, what we have read about it. It would be fun if there came a Kissingstation to our yard or some other brilliant idea. Greetings fromAndrea, Erik; Martin, Peter & Christina Klass 5 b Lilla Adolf Fredrik Stockholm Ps. Answer as quick as possible, we are desperate for art." |
