The letter from George is a general catch up with Astrid informing her of what he has been doing as well as reminiscing on the past. A nice insight into the pairs continued friendship well after the Beatles Hamburg days and into the height of the bands popularity. He briefly mentions the Beatles recent trip to America and that they are about to go to Sweden before starting their Autumn tour. He reminisces about Stuart Sutcliffe and also Jurgen Vollmer and the letters he had from them both. George suggests that Jurgen may have had feelings for him back in 1961. The last part of the letter invites Astrid to the group's new London flat on Green Street where he was living with Ringo and Paul (before he moved in with Jane Asher). He discusses that the fans are already aware the group are using the apartment, often finding crowds gathering outside. It has been documented that Klaus Voorman did stay with George and Ringo for a time in Green Street when establishing himself in London.
