Dear Jack,
Thank you very much for your picture. I’m very glad to hear that you are having a good trip in my home town. London is very beautiful at this time of year. And the weather is cool. I hope I can go back there.
It’s quite hot at this time of year in New York. I really need to relax myself during the holiday. I want to go swimming in the sea. I also want to visit your home town near Chicago. My uncle works there. And his daughter Alice will come back from Washington. So we can spend holiday together. It’s a good idea to take the train there.

My sister Linda and I want to climb the hill and go fishing. I’m sure we’ll have a good time.
Yours,
Dave
