Hello, Jane. I'd like a copy, please. Thank you for this opportunity. You may already know by the time you read this that the current value of 36,000 Chilean pesos is about $64.00 US at the cash rate. I use http://www.oanda.com/converter/classic/ for conversions. You could ship to me at: Pacific Rim Native Plant Nursery 115 Garfield St. #3025 Sumas, Wa 98295 I suppose there is no chance of getting the first volume now?
