Dear Inn Bok,
     I was happy to hear of your father's improvement and saddened to hear of your family's loss. May you all be consoled by G-D and know no more sorrow.
     I will contact you re.times I'm free in Singapore.

     Tonight I met Pat in Bangkok, we had a delicious meal together, and then I went to see his collection. He has some wonderful all calligraphy bottles (I saw 27, but he assures me he has more!) by Li Ruchen, Meng Dehao, and Nie Lei; interestingly, the three calligraphers who Guo Jie (Jill) and Li Hui recommended to me for the all calligraphy bottles I'm commissioning. Pat's collection is truly impressive. His Middle period bottles are also very good, and then I saw the agate, etc. I must confess, my travels caught up with me, and I started to yawn, and, after thanking Pat for  his wonderful hospitality, I went home to the Sukhothai Hotel, the superb hotel Tom had recommended.
Best to all,
Joey
