Dear Ollie,
I can call you Ollie, can’t I? I was very sorry
to hear about poor Donald. My husband Hiram and
I are arriving in England on December 12. Will you
be able to meet us at the airport? I hope so. Hiram
will not be able to drive after a long flight, and I
cannot drive.
I enclose a photo of Hiram and me, so you
will be able to recognize us. We’ll be able to stay
with you for two or three weeks. That will be nice,
won‟t it? We can spend Christmas together. Then
we‟ll visit Hiram‟s cousin in Ireland. He wants us to stay with him for a month. He is
really wonderful. He can do everything. He can speak several languages. He can
speak Spanish, Italian, French, German, Japanese and Arabic. And he is very
athletic. He can swim, ski, play football, tennis and hockey.
We‟d like to visit a lot of places in Britain – Oxford, Stratford, Scotland and
Wales. You’ll be able to drive us, won‟t you? We hope to hear from you soon.
With best regards,
Aunt Lucy.
