Dear Lois,

How is everything with you? I hope things are going well.

There is not much news here. I just go to work every morning and come home to my apartment every night. New York is full of people, but I don’t really know any of them. I don’t

like the city, but my job is quite interesting, and the pay is quite good.

What are your plans for the Christmas holiday? If you don’t have any plan, I hope you can visit New York. Come and share my apartment. It is quite large, and it is quite near the theatres, museums and stores.

Write soon, and say you can spend the holidays here.

Sincerely,

Linda
