    Transcription: 

    "“,,How do you do with mystery”,, Perfect Patrick where’s a poetic note from you? Hoping you are just very fine in some romantic new sheer idea let me do a metaphysical for you Put a little gold dust on your window ledge (no need just breath) and invite Flor and Yves and Daled and Isy and just blow a tiny breath up at it. A very delicate way too open my show at Gent in 81 we sho travel and do a show together Love B “,, write to me soon”,,

    You re ah fuck whats the use is still such a fine show. I need it. often. I feel like showing “,, come on”,, the voice is still so attractive maybe at Gent I will do it live in front of the museum no its better with no obvious place to go. I still Love “,,what”,, so sweet Patrick write maybe by may I can get back to Antwerp I’ll love to see you. Be well Hello to lily and Leslie"
