Dear Jennifer

It was so nice to get you letter yesterday. We all really enjoy reading your letters, especially Grandma. I’m glad to hear that everything is going well and you are enjoying the course. I hope you are not feeling homesick - I’m sure you’ll get used to being away soon. How are you finding the food? Dad is worried that you are only eating hot dogs and hamburgers but I told him that you can probably get all kinds of different food there.

I suppose it must be very strange living in such a large city - very different from home. I don’t think I could bear all the noise but you are young and it must be exciting for you. You didn’t say anything about Mr and Mrs Greenbaum or the house. Are you the only one staying there? Mrs Greenbaum sounded very nice on the phone when I called you last week. Do tell us more about them when you write again.   

Have you made many new friends yet? You mentioned Peter in your letter. He sounds very nice. Dad and I are both looking forward to meeting him and Grandma is already thinking of knitting baby clothes! I told her you were a bit young for that!

Well, darling, that’s about it for now. Remember, you can call us any time. Just reverse the charges if you need to, but remember the time difference!  We’re all looking forward to seeing you at Christmas. Dad and Grandma both send their love.

Lots of Love
