Today I discovered your library which I find very interesting - and not only because I am an Art historian.
The creation of your wonderful collection of masterpieces is something you should be admired for. This is why I invited you to become friends. There is also another reason, more sentimental (and I hope you forgive me this): I saw that as yet you had no friends on LT...
Respectfully yours
