Thursday 6-02-1997
I read aticles about Sir Laurens van der Post and Al Pacino honouring Shakespeare by playing Richard III. I think a house in Stratford-upon-Avon would be very usefull to you and your children. There they will have the occasion to visit the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and to get acquainted with English history and literature and to get to know their own ancestors. I love Stratford. If I had to choose where I could end up my life, it would be Stratford. In former days I read and saw the Shakespeare plays of Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliette, A Midsummer Night's Dream, King Lear, Julius Ceasar and some more others, like Much ado about nothing. As a matter of fact I remember the performance of last play at my school in 1964 by pupils of Eton College. The Nijmeegs Lyceum had a good relationship with Eton. I consider Shakespeare as the greatest connaisseur of the human mind and one of the best psycologists of all times. I visited Stratford on the 9th of August in order to honour and to build a bridge between the two greatest writers in world literature: Shakespeare and Cervantes, two contemporaries.

I think I must go back to Stratford and Anne Hathaways cottage, that I adore. I certainly will go and see the film of Richard III by Al Pacino. I have no problem with manupilations of other people. I analyze every move and always have an answer. I received enclosed information of Chief Executive John Holden of Companies House Cardiff.

I wrote a reaction (enclosed). I made an important decision after having sent my letter to Mr John Holden.

I consider his letter as my official appointment and my official function from now on will be General Manager of Instituto Cervantes Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, England and Wales. I want the headquarters of Instituto Cervantes BNLUK in Stratford-upon-Avon. It is the ideal location. This will be one of the greatest events European history has ever seen. I can come to live in Stratford permanently on the first of April and sell my house now. I herewith request your collaboration in finding me a residence to live in. Anne Hathaway's Cottage would be very suitable to start all activities. It is the Perfect Location. The very symbol of reaching hands between European people after ages of conflicts. A place of Peace and Tranquility and the start of a complete new activity. Fax message to the management of de Baak in Noordwijk: 'Dear Colleagues, With appropriate pride I herewith send you my appointment as the director of Instituto Cervantes Limited. Now I can assign myself the function of General Manager Instituto Cervantes Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, England and Wales. All action plans can be executed now. I resolved to settle permanently in the United Kingdom as from the next first of April.'
