Frankly, I was very doulatful that they would compromise and I was expecting to have to return it to them today. My understanding with them is that they will be paid this week. I have sent you two invoices covering the transaction - you can decide whether you want this to be an out-of state sale or not. I will be staying at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem from Friday evening until next gednesday if you would want to speak with me. Congratulations: Kind regards, EFTA01132946
