A TRIP TO THE OLD COUNTRY
Lucy Bronson lives in Texas, but she was born in England.
When she was eighteen, she married an American and they moved to
the United States. That was forty years ago and she‟s never been to
England since then. She is planning a trip to England. She wrote a
letter to her brother. Her nephew, Oliver, sent her an email message.
And she replied.
Dear Aunt Lucy,
Thank you for your letter. What a nice surprise! We thought you were dead.
I‟m afraid that my father (your brother Donald) died
ten years ago. We didn‟t know
your address, but my father often spoke about you. You‟ve never met me, so please
see my photos attached. I
could ride a bike when I was eight. I
could cook when I
was fourteen. I am seventeen now and I
can drive a car.
We are very glad you want to come to England.
Will you
be able to come and
see us?
Very best wishes,
your nephew, Oliver.

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
