1. Please feel free to use the red car any time.
I have placed black plastic bags under the windshield wipers
to protect the air intake from hemlock needles and
leaves such as may have damaged the green car. Remove
these bags if you drive the car. (I can replace them 
later.)

2. This morning the green car, now inside the garage
still has moist carpets, but seems to be drying out.
I decided, before junking the car, to canvas accessible
repair shops, - and at the first place I stopped, the
Texaco station on Pleasant Street, I spoke with the
proprietor, an old man about 10 years younger than myself
with a heavy Mediterranean accent who likes to tinker
with cars that have manageable problems. I described ours,
and he offered to give me a free estimate if I would 
bring him the car on Monday morning. Of course, I can
walk back, - it's probably good for me, - but it might
be mutually convenient if we could drive by there on the
way to your office. Please let me know.

3. As for the potential function of the green car, - if
it were useable for me - and no one else, - then Rebekah
could have the blue car; you could use the red car, and I
could manage with the green car until, if we are still able,
Mommy and I go to Konnarock in April, at that time buying
a fifth car (sixth, counting Laura's).
